rebirth of a familiar 450 gallon tank

as most here already know I bought Billy's 450
I'll be posting pictures of progress of the set up
The tank is in my basement not on the stand yet
my wife and I decided to have the floor tiled in the area where the tank is and we are going to set up a wet bar next to it

my cabinets will be here oct 9th

pics to follow
 
well when my wife saw the tank she made an appointment with a shrink for me LOL
the guys I had lined up to help put the tank on stand canceled on me so the tank is still on dolly and is mobile
so my wife decided that I should tile the area where the tank will be, and we ordered cabinets to put a wet bar next to it.
as of now 1/2 the room is tiled (I'm done for tonight, tomorrow is another day) if I stay on schedule I hope to have the floor done and grouted sunday and I'm gonna rent a couple of material lifts and attempt to put the tank on stand monday.
pics to come
 
I feel your pain Frank!

When we decided to keep the 180 in the living room it triggered a chain reaction.

We needed new carpet, so it made sense to do that first. I didn't realize I'd be stripping wallpaper and repainting half the house before the carpet could be ordered. ::)

Painting is almost finished and we have finally settled on a carpet color.

Tank should be ready by the frag swap. But anything I buy at the AO sale will be living in a QT tank; which is wher they were going anyway!
