Looks great. Maybe some day I'll convince my wife to let me use the wall in the den to place a tank. I have a 2' space between mt den wall and bathrrom wall, currently used as a storae closet...someday just maybe...tankplumbing will in there

muy bien! yo me gusta.
on the topic of KISS, the local radio station here in DC just interviewed Paul Stanley this morning. He pretty much confirmed that summer will have a KISS/Aerosmith stadium tour. Pretty cool huh??

It's coming along great! And if the drums bother them just plug in the lava lamp to calm em down But really are the drumns in the same room? I have heard that loud noise, music etc. stresses fish out.

they are in the same room , I have a plexi glass dome I can put around the drums when I practice . keeps the volume way down + I have acoustic tile 1100 sq ft that runs the entire length of the one room . This should keep the bass down ( somewhat )

Can't really say much about KISS but Tank construction is looking good!
