holy carp Posted December 12, 2015 Share Posted December 12, 2015 The aquarium's moonlights in the bedroom are so relaxing to fall asleep. And since it's a small Manhattan apartment, this is the view from the foyer: (the reason I put all the plumbing on the far side) Link to comment
holy carp Posted December 12, 2015 Share Posted December 12, 2015 The Nook Kat, that's the same nook shot we've seen on your build thread. Now put it in perspective so we see the nook from the room. (And please include a laundry basket like righttirefire so we know it's real.) Link to comment
righttirefire Posted December 12, 2015 Share Posted December 12, 2015 Kat, that's the same nook shot we've seen on your build thread. Now put it in perspective so we see the nook from the room. (And please include a laundry basket like righttirefire so we know it's real.) Don't be hating ony laundry basket, ottoman, or tape measured on the floor with scatter papers designing my new system. When you live in a 2 bedroom 1 bath duplex, your living room/dining room double as you office, design center. There is a football game on too, maybe a few beer cans... those are my fridays, while the mrs. Is at work. Lol. Link to comment

There's normally fish food, flashlights, tools, and test kits all around the tank. There's a pile of rags on the floor, and the garbage can there is usually overflowing with used paper towels.

Elizabeth94 Posted December 12, 2015 Share Posted December 12, 2015 My "nest" is my room, an absolute mess! No pictures lol Same here, must be normal for students. Although, I do have a custom cut 1/2" thick sheet of black plastic to fit the top of my burrow incase I spill water. It actually looks pretty nice and is a great work space. My mom says it looks like a pet store in my room since the fish tank is right beside a 4ftx2ft boa constrictor cage lol! Link to comment

I also have that same laurel mushroom lamp. Link to comment

My room actually isn't terrible right now- I took a garbage can worth of old stuff out a few days ago! Honestly the only area that is clean and nice is around my reef because I take so much pride in it and junk would detract from the beauty Link to comment
East1 Posted December 12, 2015 Share Posted December 12, 2015 The screen tilts, so I can re-angle it for when I'm in bed Link to comment
Mikeymikemike Posted December 12, 2015 Share Posted December 12, 2015 That is seriously overkill with those lights Link to comment
East1 Posted December 12, 2015 Share Posted December 12, 2015 That is seriously overkill with those lights it was overkill when I had one of them over the 1.5 gallon lol It's the mangrove, it needs insane amounts of light Link to comment

(And please include a laundry basket like righttirefire so we know it's real.) Whaaaat! Why can't I have an architectural digest nook? Alright alright, took this picture just now in all the messy glory. The wires you see are my Light, I have to replace my bulbs and one array (with Arce's help). I'm waiting for some parts from Dave but in the meantime I'm not bothered enough to tuck the wires in. My desk is right next to it, with your sassy post pulled up on the screen. We should meet one of these days, you and your lady, and I'll invite NY Fishies and his lady as well. Link to comment

Why do I hear Billy Joel's Honesty right now... Seriously... Where is that coming from? Tit for tat, here's my honest shot: Would be happy to meet up. Link to comment
HarryPotter Posted December 13, 2015 Share Posted December 13, 2015 Clean that desk!!!! Link to comment
D Z Posted December 13, 2015 Share Posted December 13, 2015 That is seriously overkill with those lightsNot really with the size of those colonies. If it was all frags it wouldn't be but Leds don't tend well to larger colonies due to shadowing issues..only way to overcome that is to add more points of light. Link to comment
metrokat Posted December 13, 2015 Share Posted December 13, 2015 Clean that desk!!!! No way! It's my organized chaos. It's exactly as I like it and I know where everything is. I really have a method to my madness. Link to comment
HarryPotter Posted December 13, 2015 Share Posted December 13, 2015 Heres the most of my "nest" that ill show for now! The rest needs to be clean. Its funny that I only take pride in the area around my tank lol Link to comment

Its funny that I only take pride in the area around my tank lol *snip* I think that's a normal side effect. I get obsessive over my desk, entryway and kitchen, because those are my favorite places (tank is in entryway), they always have to be spotless. Link to comment
