After that was sheet rocking which is always fun as that we use 16ft pieces and its just me and my cousin doing it
My cousin Thast it for now until next week im getting a Digital Rebel canon. Its on its way so you wll have all the pics you need. The fish room is done as well and we sheetrocked with the same sheetrock that you would use in a bathroom so it dosent absorb moisture. Hope you like it so far. See Dancin Dizzle its all yours

Very nice. I was wondering it seems like there will be no access to the front of the tank from the room. Also I would of waterproofed the framing around the tank. Everything else looks great best of luck with it

soon i wanna take my time and do it right im really worried about the humity of the room and tank. I know with a tank this size evaporation could melt the walls and sheetrock and cause $$$$ in house damage. I could be over reacting but at one point there will be 4 150 mh on with 22 t-5 ons now thats only for a few hours maybe even 1 because i want to create a sunrise effect and really dont want all those lights on at once. Becuase i cant afford that electric bill. I wanna make sure the plumbing is right aas well. I like taking my time which is golden in this hobby after 6 yrs with a couple of times i learned to aprreicate what you have and take your time to the next step because if you rush and or change to many things at once you can go from 2 steps forward to 13 steps back. But if you just took that little extra time you might wind up with a TOTM. (thats my goal)
Kinda long winded
