"I really thought King Edward would have asked it but I will, Where's the electric fence that keeps the kids (and dog) out? :D"

:ROFL: My Missus is from the DDR... Shes in charge of security for the new one. She started ordering the concrete this morning...
 
Looks sharp. I often thought about a hydroponics setup for my tanks, but I never could come up with a classy way of doing them. That gives me all sorts of ideas though now.

Nice set up...I wasnt expecting the last pic either...looks great... Got a couple of questions for you:

1) what did you use to seal the pond liner around you drain bulkhead?

2) What you using as a growing media...it looks like soil in the pic!

3) Could you walk me through how you pannelled it. I got a project I'd love to have look like that! I guess you scewed on ply, then cut straight bits to do the squares, and use skirting? around the bottom, but how do you do the uprights? And the ledge? Looks great!

Lol...ply...sorry mate I take that back! I was wonder how you got such a nice sheen on it!!!!

1- just used bulkheads they come with a rubber gasket but me being me i put some silicone on and around it to be safe (of course silicone doesn't bond real well to any of it
2- growing media is lava rocks

3- i install hardwood floors as a side business and it is all prefinished tounge and groove hardwood
the cherry was easy i just used my finish nailer and nailed it on
the bamboo i had to rip down most of it (atleast to get rid of the tounge and groove) but i just took my time and made a huge mess
