Time to try a wooden aquarium
Thanks. They will be a low blue, that slowly transitions to a light green. So slow you will not notice. I will have to tweek the spectrum depending on the background. Dark background is my favorite, but my discus pepper with it. Even with pure white sand. Looking at buff, tan, off white floor. I am going to try and cast shadows to make it look dark and try to trick the fish.
Taking shape, tomorrow the over flow/intakes go in. And with any luck the bottom gets siliconed in.
Finally installed the overflows that I have been procrastinating about. This one will house a 2" drain and the 1" intake from my Fx6. I was going to drill another 1" hoke to access the tank but decided to run the intake line over the top of the overflow out of view.
Sealed with silicone and secured with my favorite, pocket hole screws. Makes for an extra step filling the holes, but I love the way they install.

The footings and PVC track system that I built saved me in this side. It was just a little off square. With the footings, tracks, pocket holes, and a lot of silicone it snugged up nicely.I did it this way because I felt that sicking my arm down was n this thing to smooth out silicone would be WAY easier than trying to epoxy and fiberglass it.
This side will be the return from the Fx6 and Sp6. Out of view there will be three 1.5" bulkheads for a smooth return.
Small emergency spillway, that I doubt I will need was also cut out of the top.
This box will also house the heaters.
Working on the area under the shelf. I just realized that I will have to paint this section before I glue the shelf on top of it.
