After reading this "DIY" forum, i now know that anything is possible... knowing that, let me say that my wife has been wanting me to build a headboard for her for awhile now.

So... who can guess what i started drafting up in autocad lastnight? :naughty:

Right in one guess! that's amazing :) it'll only be about 80 gallons... i'll try and post my initial sketch of it after work, but right now i gotta get ready for the day and start my 45 min. commute walking into work ;)

nah... i use one of those aquarium vacuums that hook up to the kitchen sink and has a 50' hose (it's what i already use for the 60gal in the front room)

ok... first off we must consider that my wife wants an angled headboard that she can sit in bed leaning on to read (i'll make her a cushion to put up when she does this) so the face of the tank must be on an angle... and it will be thick enough that the dressers on each side of the bed will come out the same amount as the base of the tank stand...

I really hope she'll let me do this, but if not maybe some one else out there may hopefully be able to run with this idea and have the coolest headboard in the whole freakin world! haha :headbang2
