Evan.

 

Yay for the weeks of freedom! Until next semester...:inquisiti

 

Done painting.. waiting for glass and my new camera charger.

 

Update!
This is the epoxy i used - for others who are wanting to try this.

These are some pics of the tank and color design I put on it as well as pics of the external overflows. The acrylic is going to have slots cut in it and siliconed to the back side of the overflow gaps in order to keep fish in the tank and outta the overflows.

 

yay awesome! I agree the epoxy has a nice look to it.

 

Looking great! Now let's see it with water and fish please.

 

Waiting on my 12 mm glass from the shop. The first piece broke in transport. I bought a large rubbermaid container for the sump and i'm going to start with a small 10g fuge. I also bought two koralia 4s and 100 lbs of base rock - which will be added to my 65 lbs from my 40g breeder. I also have all the plumbing supplies and bulkheads coming in next week so the build should continue at a good pace once I can get my hands on the glass... ugh.

 

Awesome I am really looking forward to seeing this build develop

 

Well, quick update. Due to the holidays and my grandmother being in the hospital it kinda put a halt on things. I will have a pane of glass by wednesday though and i've got everything I need. Just a matter of time. Here are some update pics. I've painted the outside of the tank and bought a used RO/DI - replaced membranes. Also put the new base rock in the sump with water change water from my 40 to get things started.

 

Lookin good! Can't wait to see water in the thing.
