1600 Gallon Bioshock Octopus Aquarium!
- Thread starter Karlotious
- Start date
So finally got the MAX ACR epoxy in the other day and should be finished with the application this week. I bought 3 gallons (2 black and 1 white kit). My goal is to cover completely in white then cover in black to make sure i achieve full coverage. Im covering the inside and outside in the epoxy for added strength. Once this step is done then i can start the plumbing ( the sump is to the right behind the small bookshelf under the steps) and decorating in preparation for the acrylic panels 
Making progress on the sump room. Eventually it should look like an octopus with tentacles going everywhere. Hopefully haha.
So finished with the max acr epoxy this weekend (the front top and bottom that are still exposed have to stay that way until I get all 3 acrylic panels inside). I will say that the max acr is odorless and has great coverage. If I was going to do it again I probably wouldn't bother doing two colors since the black pigment worked so well. It's hard to see the contours of the tank right now so my apologies but when I get the green marine paint it should be much more noticeable.
Just so people don't think i've given up haha figured i'd give a quick update! The biggest thing right now is saving up for the 2" acrylic but i did get the foam in this week The foam hides the plumbing and adds depth to the picture that will be behind it on the back wall. It will look like a bulkhead door and be approx 5 inches off of the wall for added depth. While that is going on I'm allowing my friend to have some fun with the surrounding art Im also still deciding which photo to use for the back wall. I'm torn between these three..

Glad to see this one still going! Everything is looking great. As for the pictures I like the first one
Yeah the first one seems to be winning haha Its from Bioshock 2 so the graphics were much better. Id prefer the city but i cant find a photo that is high quality enough. The buildings look too fake to me.
