Fishcave

[Keith Perkins]

What happens when your wife won't let you have a fishroom and won't let you have a mancave...FISHCAVE! jk








The cabinets match what's in the kitchen and I installed everything and built the walls, except the one the TV is hanging on which is part of the stairwell. Bought the counter top at a big box store and installed my own end caps...never again. There is an 1 1/2 gravity drain system behind the tanks and 10 outlets and a switch to an outlet on the back of the wall for my pump and 25 feet of flexible PVC to fill everything.

Mancave...that's a word that just invokes an image of something ENTIRELY different in my mind!...The fishcave looks nice and neat Keith...but come on...more tanks!...Bill

[Keith Perkins]

One I finish the last wall I've got a brand new 72 bowfront tank that's going to go behind the coach as a growout. Hopefully that will start in a couple of weeks or so. Off to CA for 5 days next weekend.

lol looks like my WOman cave..flat screen above 125...tanks to the left of me..tanks to the right..here I am stuck in the middle again...(musically familiar?). lol..you got plenty of space for more!

Its nice having your own space to kick back and relax....but l would be carefull about having the t.v directly above your tank. Your sure to get some moisture in it from your tank, which may cause you some grief. Just my thoughts

sneaky idea

[Keith Perkins]

I honestly spend a lot more time listening to that TV while I'm doing WCs than actually watching it. When I decided to buy it I told my wife that the discus had to maintain the standard of living they'd become accustom to in our living room.

I do occasionally end up with a couple of splashed drops of water on the screen, so that's when the screen gets it's quarterly wipe down. Going to get the 2x4s and foam board for the remainder of the room after work today.

The wife is very musical, in the last couple of years I've bought her a pretty nice flute and a gloss black digital Kawai piano...she allows me my fish stuff.

Fishcave is looking real super, Keith - As someone said, there's room for more, but I see you're adding a bowfront. That's just for starters, right ?

[Keith Perkins]

Recruited a couple of carpenters to help me a week from Wednesday after I get back from California to stud up the last wall.

I need your wives to talk to mine....... SHE DIDN'T TAKE WELL WHEN I PLACED THE FISH TANK WHERE THE PIANO WAS SUPPOSED TO BE.... now I get reminded everythime my daughters are taking piano lessons on how much better the accustics are on that part of the living room....... As far as the flat TV welll that was another battle......

[Jennie]

[mkv]
