I have found that I end up posting a lot of posts about the different aspects of my "fish room in progress." That gets a bit difficult to keep up with and I'm sure just as difficult to follow, so I decided to start a log. I'm not going to backtrack and give a historical account. I'll just start from where it is now and move forward. If you're curious about where it started, you'll find those posts here and on AC.
Since the AC downtime, I've found myself less of a visitor on MFK and more of a regular. I visit AC on occasion, but MFK is where people share my passion for "tankbusters." That book is on my nightstand at this very moment. My group of 9 synspilum I had in 1990 looked better than the one on the cover. I could go on about stories of 34+ years of keeping fish, but I'll fast-forward to the present.
Hurricane Katrina forced me to gut part of my house and afforded me the luxury of making what was once a closed in garage space that consisted of 50% office and 50% laundry/mud room into 25% laundry room 75% FISH ROOM! The laundry room is painted Mellow Yellow and the Fish Room is painted Dark Storm Cloud. Next time you see a dark storm cloud, that's the color; a deep bluish-gray. My daughter refused to let me paint it any shade of blue and liked my idea to go bluish-gray. Kids are smart.
The fish room has dual ceiling fans and a high btu wall-mounted window unit a/c. The main entry is a pair of French Doors, but it also has a side door and an exit into the laundry room. The floor is currently unfinished concrete and because the room was originally going to be a workout room, there is no floor drain. I almost put one in to handle possible clothes washer failure, but the concrete guys rushed me on the process and said I wouldn't need it. How wrong they were.

I think I hurt myself writing this, but that's where it is as of this moment. I hope you enjoyed my pain.
