I should have made myself more clear, my garage is now my new play room, so to speak. My computers, radios and fish will all be in the same room now. At the moment, my fish tank is in my living room. I don't use my living room much which is a shame because it would be nice to be closer to the fish. Mind you, every time I go in that room at the moment, my little baby start begging for food.

You sound much like myself. I have a home office (extra bedroom converted to office) that I spend alot of time in when I am not travelling for my job. My 37 Gallon was placed sideways at the end of my desk (on a seperate stand) so that I could watch the fish while I was at my desk. Now the new 75 gallon is set up a few feet further away but still faces the side of my desk so I can enjoy the aquarium while I work.

I went with a 75 because this is on the second floor of the house and I was afraid of too much weight. I really wish I could have gone larger but maybe next time around. My last aquariums (120 and 65) were set up in our Family room but the good wife would hear no such suggestion this time around.

Well, my room is now all decorated. I had a guy come this morning and measured up for some nice blinds and I've got the carpet man coming tomorrow. My builder is going to reinforce the floor this week because I had to have installation put in. Thankfully, the concrete garage floor is only around four or 5 inches below so it won't take a lot to offer extra concrete.

And then comes the really boring bits, transferring everything from this room, into the new one. That is going to that take ages as this room is absolutely packed.

300 gallons...WOOW!!! I bet leveling is all the more important with a tank this huge. What do you plan to put in this mega tank???

I don't think levelling will be too much of a problem. I am having the floor reinforced with concrete so I am going to make sure it's exactly level. I'll take some photos tomorrow.

As for what's going in it, most of the fish I have at the moment. I was going to set up a South American Cichlid tank but I can't bear to part with my two large ClownLoach. So I decided to have a sort of South American theme but with a few foreigners. That being two Syndontis catfish and four ClownLoach. I also have my two red Oscars, hopefully a pair. I will possibly put two or three more fish in but I haven't decided what yet. Oh, forgot about my jade eyed Cichlid, might get a male for her. I might get a Severum. They are quite placid. Other than that, I'll have to wait and see.

I like the Green Severum myelf...
Good choice...
