Due to my back problems I had to close my grooming shop in a small town and move all my grooming stuff to the house. I can't believe I made everything fit. I gave a way all the furniture in my sun room/dining room and turned that room into my grooming room. It's a little tight but it's functional, although not pretty like it was before.
My raised bathing tub fit in my laundry room. Luckily, I had moved the utility sink to the fish room a long time ago so there was water and a drain there.
I looked all over for a place for my 125 I had at the shop. There was zero room for it in the fish room. I had a place for a 5 foot tank in the living room, barely but the 125 is a 6 foot tank. Finally, I realized that if I moved my desk to another wall there was just enough room for the tank and a 50 gallon water storage container along that wall. It took 3 big strong guys to move that tank and the stand. They had to bring the tank in through the window! I was afraid to watch until they told me that they had it in place.
This is the tank I used to refer to as "the happy hunting ground" because I almost never vacuumed the gravel and only changed the water once a week. Despite that, the fish lived! They will get better care now that the tank is in front of my eyes. I'll have to do WC through the window but that's no big deal.
Here's a pic of the tank. I know that real planted tank people have more beautiful tanks, but for me, this is darned good.
