And, you have never heard all the "hullabulloo" about the "Mars Face", you've never seen "X-Files" or the movie....? Ok, I understand..

What kind of monitor do you have? Resolution?

I'll go back and read thru your site. This must have been planned and I missed it. ;)

Seriously!

Why it shows up in the pic I have no idea but looking at the tank, you can't see it.. It must have been the combination of flash and shadows.. Anyway, I never did like X files and I don't believe all that Mars crap, my head is right here on Earth where it should be..Besides, why would I want an alien in my Cichlid tank???:rolleyes:

I guess the shadows and flash did indeed cause the 'anamoly' or extra reflections!

I have an ongoing 'raz' or joke with a Mod/member here on Aquaria Central -- that's all. It is nice to know you can see how the shadows 'look interesting'.... "Why it shows up in the pic I have no idea...."

Nice job on that project!
(edit)..
Sorry to have bothered you.
By the by, nice website!!

DonnieP,
That backgound looks great in that tank. I have been trying to figure out how to do something like this. I think I might give this a try on my 150g. Just out of curiousity, how heavy is each piece when all was said and done?

Thanks,
Dave
 
not very!

Each of the three pieces were, I'd say about ten pounds each at the most, remember the last coat goes on after they are siliconed into the tank, you also fill any gaps at this time, they were light enough that it was easy for me to to on one leg since the other was out of commision at the time..

If you need any help just email me from my website via the link below "Catfish Heaven" or ask on this forum..
 
Thanksyou also Donnie P

Your research and website helped me on my current project. - A network of caves for my clown loaches. I'll start a new thread for my caves project.
 
well i've tried a few different ways now.

spray foam-----hated it.. for that size of a project

sheet style foam----i was okay, but *@#$ed it up with the heatgun.

Cement -------was way to heavy

now i'm trying a artists clay approach, it will be much heavier then the foam, not nearly as heavy as the cement, but it has been the nicest product to work with and shape so far.

Just not sure what i'm going to seal it with once it's all painted and looking the way i want it too. i need something clear that won't bleed into my water.
