Hello everyone,
I'm new to APC but have enjoyed reading a lot of useful information already. I am impressed and inspired by all the beautiful Planted setups i've seen so far on this site.

We are restarting our Aquarium project after having to put it on standby last year due to a few bumps in the road that life throws at you.

Well so, where are we now? Our orginal plans for this tank was to be a SW display. To make a long story short, this was no longer going to be the plan and we have decided to make this a "Artistcally designed" Planted tank hosting Discus. As for the specifics of the type of plants? Thats why i'm here.

Here's a semi-chronilogical order of some pix of how our 770-gallon Aquarium has unfolded so far.
Measurements are: 120"l x 36"w x 48"h

• Here's the original site before the dust started flying.


• Construction moving along...


• Drywall & Texture.


• The room on the backside before the wall teardown.


• Tiling the display room side of the aquarium.


• Her delivery. The pug came free with it.


• Wife giving her the lookover while murmering something about insanity...


• The fellas helping to bring her inside the house....around the house!


• The stand (now powdercoated) gets delivered in through the kitchen nook first.


• Almost there with the stand and top


• The stand is in. Fellas taking a break.


• Now for the big 1200lb girl! took approx 12-14 people to bring her in safely.


• Going over the game plan to lift her in. We ended up not using the materials lift...that would make it to easy.


• Our aquarium makes it to its final destination.


• Another shot of the display room side.


• Another front shot.


• Backroom pix.


• Another backroom pix. I'm standing where I'll have the aux tanks.


• Our pugs enjoying an empty tank at the moment


• Full shot from the kitchen-nook area.



I will be working on the carpentry work & staining that will be framing around the aquarium. lots of work to be done still so I will update asap.
Thanks
