I would love to see it!

dam she looks good! going to look real nice with the africans and white rock working off that black background is really going to brighten it up a lot! 1000s neons would be nice too haha.
Thanks, that's deffinately what I'm hoping for :)
wow, sweet no leaks!
Woke up this morning to find...........a full tank still :headbang2
 
I'm cautiously optimistic now, I think I will go ahead and put the frame around the front of the tank to finish that off. Maybe this weekend (maybe) start adding sand and rock, though I'm really thinking I should probably let it sit for a week to be absolutely sure there won't be any leaks. Fixed the final leak in the plumbing last night so hopefully that will hold, did I mention how much I hate plumbing? lol
 
I would give it a week personally, over wise your going to have to remove the frame to replace the view window etc. I dont reckon it will leak/crack but I have had a tank split open after 2 weeks and was glad my fish order got canceled otherwise they wouldn't be here anymore.
 
I would give it a few months. With change in temps and seasons the floor may shift a little. I've had mine running for over 6 months and I'm not yet ready to put finishing covers over it.
It's just trim on the outside wall, would take nothign to take it off if needed. Just finished washing 400 lbs of sand and putting it into the tank, told myself after carrying buckets down the stairs for 3 hours straight....never again:D
 
wow nice build man! very inspirational personally i would go with natives for it but either way it is going to look great i am probably going to do a build like this eventually but for natives haha cant wait to see it fully stocked and running
