I have been working on a few things, I am wrapping up my Carribean room, which is a Deep island blue with palm tree's and Great barrier reef photographs in the room. Our new project am very anxious about.

We've purchased new office in Windsor, which is due to be completed by Dec 1st.

We've ordered a custom 210g AGA tank to go in as a wall divider between two offices:

The overflows will be on each side glass of the tank so not really in the way of viewing from either side.
The filteration will be via a 75g tank and look like this:

On my side it will be nearly identical to how Tony has done his 300g tank setup:

On the opposite side, it will be completely drywalled over and just the aquarium viewed, and have a frame, so will look like a inwall aquarium picture.

We've decided this will be a predator saltwater tank. Planning on sharks, stingrays, and possibly octopuses's. Unsure of final stocking, still researching them all out and what kind of availability of species i have. Sharkysreef in IL is where we plan to get acquire majority of this stock.

More pictures from construction soon to come :)


*side note, there is another project after this is finished, lets just say there's gonna be 2x4's, involved in the aquarium building of itself ;) *
 
sounds good but what kind of sharks could you put in a 210.
 
oh ok nvm like a grow out tank.
 
You could put a nice brone whaler for all over 5 minutes.

But a Port Jackson shark in a huge tank are lovely.

On the octopus note, it;d be cool to see them squirt ink at a stingray to get away, only to find next morning the ocotpus with a stab wound through the brain!
 
Octopusses/Octopi (whichever) are really hard to care for and the majority of them rarely live for more than a year. They're also extremely talented escape artists that can learn how to open lids just by watching you enough times. Not trying to steer you away from them, just informing you of the level of commitment you'll need.
