Well I have been up all nite playing with Google SketchUp...
The basement has 9ft ceilings and I would like for the stand to be 42" high... If I did do 42" I would have to have it in two sections as I would not be able to get it in via the sliding door...
Here is what I came up with...
The bulk of the fishroom is roughly 120"x145"... Since my current 600gal has three panes of Starphire I wanted it to stick out into the room and not just be an in-wall. In the sketch I have it sticking out 36" with a 3.5" lip around the tank that would be tiled...
