I started making the aquarium waterproof.
And now is the time to make some decisions about the lights and decor.
And about what to do with the background: keep it open and use seperate stones i can make myself; make a complete background or make partly a background with open pieces or a piece.
I saw some nice examples i could try to make. There will be mostly utaka's swimming in it and the rock walls i saw looked like what you could see in their natural habitat.
I don't know what you think of it or have any suggestions, if you do i'm interested to hear about that!
The inside where the window is comming in the epoxy

Damn it looks nice!! Isnt it a bit cocky doing the whole outside before watertested? hehe! Cant wait to see this up and running, looks awesome with the wood you choce for the outside! Waht kind of liquid liner did you use? Rubber? Keep up the good work!
I started making a rock background, i make 1 big part and a smaller, lower part. Upside the lower part you will see still blue. I'm also making some seperate rocks, a bit smaller than planned. For the background i use tempex, i use 2 layers of it, 1 layer i cut of the pieces and the other to glue them on.
I don't want to make everything to tick, but still get a lot of depth.
When i put the tileglue on the tempex i finish it of with epoxy with some pigment in it.
