LionFish's Journey to the Big Tank Club (Loads of pics)

Well the time is apon us, The planets aligned and I got motivated.
This journey starts with me ripping out the carpet in the house.




Yes I had to Remodel my house in order to obtain the tank
The floor being laid through the whole house
Starting in the Back and seamlessly running to the front


With the help of the gnomes things moved along quickly





My lil Girl helped alot too!


The 55 was moved to the kitchen to make way for the new tank and, floor
So out came the python , tubs , buckets , and wagon



Corals and rock in the tubs


NOG!!! Skimmer got cleaned. Man I love this super Skimmer


The refill
Dont worry I Covered the Window

Looks like you got yourself into a heck of a re-model job.
The floors looking great.

awesome lionfish. How big are you going? I am excited to see how your tank develops. I am jealous of the remodel. It looks great.
