Thumbs up Thank you everyone for the help on the Inwall (pics)

Just wanted to throw out a big thank you to everyone!!!!

Dave (dja1980), and Rod without your help I would be NOWHERE close to where I am right now with out your outstanding building skills!
These 2 guys have really been great to me, I owe the both of you BIGTIME!!! Call me for anything!

Squirt, Beefy, Maria, Karen, DJ & Madam, thank you for all the guidance over the past 2 years! (and the laughs)


Matt at Shotank....thank you for getting the 210!!! And for being another great LFS out there!!!!

And everyone else who has given me a good deal, givin me a frag, came along on one of our crazy bus tours, or who has just been a blast to talk to on RC!!!!

Well here's the pics....I figured since I was finishing my basement, I might as well put an inwall nano in while i'm at it!


Here be the beginnings of a beautiful friendship!
(although, i think i may have made the hole in the wall too big for the tank)


hmmmm....what's gonna go on that wall to the left???? (when i got my flat panel the other day, I told my wife that when they brought it over to me to load in the truck that it felt like i was getting married again as I saw my new wife walking down the isle! lol)


THE FISHROOM
whattya think? Is the wifey gonna have enough room to do laundry?



Diesel was very tired after all the hard work...


The other half of the basement

I sure hope you don't plan on putting alcohol in that bar. Alcohol is the devil!

Hmmm...... I would be a lil' uncomfortable with having soaps, bleaches, etc. near the tank. Anything that is you can smell can affect the tank....

Although Oxi-clean may help to raise the ORP.....
