Marty's 180g [My Elusive Shrimp]

I like the scape behind curtain 3 the best.

 

I concur.

 

I like it as well. Thanks for the input!

The bar-sink is painted and ready to install for my water changes. This will be used mainly for draining WC and cleaning equipment with RO/DI water.

Today we start painting the room. I will need to stop and get some type of rubberized paint to seal the drywall above the tank, so my fish don't eat gypsum.

 

Gypsum would be a good source of calcium, just scrape accordingly

 

lol


Not much to report on the fish room. Some primer is going on now. We've been landscaping the front of the house, so that has taken up a lot of my time lately. Hopefully, though, within another week the tank set-up will begin.

 

That is some nice dry wall work! I don't really know much about it, you had mentioned 3 coats of Mud? Is that typical for the joints and such? I had always thought they just put 1 layer on, maybe some sanding?

 

I have a great contractor. He is very particular about his drywall. Two heavy coats of muds, sand flat, third feathered coat of mud then re-sand. Makes a really beautiful surface.

 

When I had my house built in 2002 I remember I was kind of able to see the drywall panels on the ceiling through the paint. Until now I thought, well, that must just be the way it is, but now I realize they just did a crappy job LOL.

The room looks great!

 

coming along great Mart!

 

I see everything is coming along great. Progress is going really well.
