Hi all, I've lurked for a while but I figured its time to introduce myself and my project. Like most of us, I've been a fish nerd most of my life. Turns out Marlin and I went to high school together and both grew up into full-on fish people. I did mostly cichlids (west african) attended ACA conventions, meetings etc. Always wanted to make the SW jump. Moved to SD just over a year ago and recently bought a house.
I have a super supportive spouse (also like most of us) that was onboard with putting a tank in the new house. As soon as we closed on the house my wife and I picked the perfect spot. The dinning room, it had a long wall that backed up the garage. I taped off an area on the floor so the concrete slab was left exposed after the flooring went down. Electricians came put in new circuit on its own breaker, quad outlets on the inner wall and another quad on the outside garage wall.
