well we have had a move around in the house with tables and sofas after i cleaned the carpet the other day and resulting i think i can have my own fish tank dedicated room in the centre of the house with a 3 seater sofa looking directly at it, another larger sofa 90degrees to it, (still very viewable) and also visable from the dining room table position. getting more exicited the more i think about it. because being in the hallway people see it but people cant study it and they are always standing and unrelaxed, which is the opposite to the feeling i want ppl to have.
im buzzing im that excited about it. im finally getting a fish room i dreamed about! and that means on the opposite wall there will be space for a 12 foot upgrade some day!
hopefully id have moved out by then
planning on moving out for gd when im 18!
urgh sociology was aweful, i did the wrong essay and still scraped a B tho!
oh and if anyone was interested i got: 2A* 4A 3B and 1C with the A* being in physics and Chemistry (so proud sorry). and well i think thats the reason my dad is building me this hood.
well with out delay here are a few pictures to satisfy the TFF's thirst for them
(we all love them more than a thousand words!)
my dads factory
us designing the tank on CAD then CAM software, loved it (counted as my work experience BTW)
it going into the machine as a solid block of urethane.
and thats as much as i saw being done, due to college i couldnt get anymore photos. here you can see the rough cut of the 4 fan mounts and a central grill for excess heat air to escape.
The plan was to have two fans blowing and two sucking to reduce dust settling and to get a positive movement of air!
The lid will not stay that colour it will be sprayed matt black and in the end will look more like a stealth bomber than fish tank hood. i like to think of it as the bugatti veyron of lids
thanks would appreciate feed back asap to know of your interest. Advice is welcome and wanted.
