wowwww!!!!! looks far better than i had anticipated. im dolng mine on monday with black granite.
Just a word of advice, get tiles darker than you want them to be because when placed in a fish tank, the color is much lighter than how what you anticipated. I wanted a more dark tan-color, but i ended up getting a beige-white looking floor. Also, make sure u get inside measurements of the tank, not the general external dimensions. The debris never stays on the floor as the powerheads always swifting it. Last but not least, anyone that is a noob like I am in construction, just make sure you score the tile up and down several times to get a fine a cut. Can't wait for my first water change 
Most importantly, SHOW PICS!!!!!

AMEN to that..... mine started as dark grey granite and lightened up pretty much.... but I still love the look..
Will be posting my tiled tanks pictures this weekend =]
Going to put the tile in tomorrow. But I currently have my overflow hanging on the front of the tank cause I wanted to leak test it before moving it to the back. WIll move the filter this weekend, and post pics

People with tiled tanks, ever had any problem with debris catching under the tiles? or forming a mess under there?
