This is my basement overhaul from the past couple months. It all started when we decided to get new carpets. (Had to move the 220 before installation.) I bought a 125 off of Shad on the site to dump the water in with the fish while I moved the tank. Both tanks were resealed in their down time, and after the carpets went in I decided to modify the old tank stand to fit the 125. Had to build a canopy for it too because it had no rim or braces. Then my son and I went to the local lake which gets drained down a couple feet during the winter and sawed some driftwood off of the now exposed tree stumps to use decorating the tank. Aside from the tank related stuff, the basement got a new paint job and some other varying odds and ends. I included pictures of the new stock as well, I ended up moving the few fish I had because I thought all of the disruption would probably be too much for them. Here it goes,

Thanks. It's still floating, big time, but it's propped under the glass and still sitting about 8 inches out of the water. Thought about grabbing some crabs while I can just because they have a cool get away. If they found it before they got chewed up.
