Flooring progress today!!

Before:

So far:

The flooring we went with is called Allure - its pretty much waterproof and has a 25 year warranty - goes down super easy and pretty cheap cost wise - looks great!

Bout time you got some flooring down! BTW, since it took you so long I'm not supposed to allow you to poke fun at Tal if his flooring isn't done when we go to his place.

I did the allure in my kitchen/dining area as well. Has worn well over the last year +. Sometimes the corners came up a little but as it has been walked on they have stayed down.

Floor under tank done - tank moved into new spot - the view from my desk is about to become awesome.

Plumb in the sump and chiller next!

Thanks!

Yeah no pressure now! lol

The sump I picked up a while back (15g 20 1/4 x 10 1/2 x 18 3/4) is just not user friendly nor big enough for my set up so progress this week is a custom made sump:

It's 20 x 14 x 14 and gorgeous!

I have never had a sump that was so pretty I wanted to make it a display tank!!!





Huge thanks to ArstenA - this thing is a thing of beauty - I could not be happier!!!
