just a little update. over the weekend the tank has bin fibreglassed with 2 layers of 2 ounce matt. and has had 2 layers of gel coat. all the holes for the drain and water inlets have bin cut out and fitted. next step is to fit the pipes along the bottom of the tank for my airline .after that i will then cover with a mix of clear gel coat and sand . it will still have the same look as sand but will be easy to clean. .

just some more pics. of the fibreglass and the gel coat. i only went so far with the gel as i had to add the braceing .as you can see in some of the pics i have bin around the bracing with a router. this is so i can sink my windows in so the plants and fish can get some light
