Fish room setup advice...

if you put it in the middle run some electric at least?

is stingray pond round or square? middle may be nice if it’s oval or rectangle to coincide with space in the room - surrounded by tanks -

seating?

i dunno if that would muck up your plans ?

Looking good there!

Going slower than I’d like - we were supposed to be done by thanksgiving.
Supply shortage has been some of it but not all of it. We had ordered windows and they took months to come and today just found a huge one was cracked. Always something.

And you are, of course, using moisture resistant drywall?

My understanding is that they call that mold board and Supposedly, not allowed to use it in the state of Washington because they have found it locks in moisture and is against code. We are getting the mold and water resistance by a coating and a paint.
