lol, I guess it does.
The tank looks massive in my living room though, I'll need to get a room shot tomorrow. Thanks.Thank you. This tank is the exact tank I wanted so we really went all out with it.
Been a little quiet here huh? Well we are getting quite close to be done with the construction part of this project! That always causes mixed feelings though. And I did not leave myself a whole lot of room to add to this thing.
So the color quartz is NOT clean. I am slowly working on taking it all out and rewashing it in a bucket. :mad2:
I did make some progress though!!
Stained & 1 coat of varnish.
The backside
A sneak peek! 3 coats of varnish and ready for lighting!
I hooked up the lighting tonight but don't have the pictures yet, I will update with them either a little later or tomorrow. Tomorrow I just have to install the hinge and I think I am done, I think. Once it is complete I will add other angles too.
Let me know what you guys think. I need some motivation to finish cleaning the horrible colorquartz!! Fill, stir, dump, fill, stir, dump......:wall:

As in the actual mechanics of it or how well it does what it is supposed to?

lol did you really block a window with that huge monster??
only a fish keeper will sacrifice daylight for.. well lol fake light
The canopy looks good, really matches the stand and all.
Get your butt up and finish cleaning the sand, add the lighting, add the stones, add the fish. And then its photo time!!

lol, yes I did put it in front of the window. We have a projection screen TV in that room so the blinds are never really open anyways.
Thank you for the encouragement! The lights are added & I will upload the pictures a little later. The fish probably won't be added until the end of October, at least the bulk of fish anyways. There is a fish event on Oct 25ish (my first) & I was told I can get some great cichlids at great prices so we will see how that goes.
