While all this was happening in the little spare time i had around midnight's, i was doing more research on the hobby and reading most of the big built threads in order to avoid any silly mistakes and socially to make the setup as simple as possible i started thinking of having a bare bottom thank which is easier to maintain and less build up of detritus...
However just i did not like the idea of just plain glass for 2 reasons one for not looking great second safety , in the event of a rock falling on the bottom glass... So i came up with an idea that i never seen before so maybe i could put my name on it lol:laugh::laugh::laugh: I asked to have an ivory acrylic to be stuck on top of the double base... i think it will work specially having a ivory as colour which is near enough sand!! |

and now here is the tank, i don't know if i should say stress or excitement or the not sleeping the night before which resulted in not having many pictures!!!
The picture doesn't do much justice to the ivory acrylic but i must say very very cool idea and I'm looking forward to having a BB tank which does look nice |

Yes i did paint the whole garage with a single brush but worth it.. was going to do the floor but i only did the corners for damp purposes and the floor will be tiled later... the paint is a two part paint which you add B to A and ad water. its water based i think as it does wash of your hand with cold water but when is dry it gives the wall rubbery texture!! |

Man the transformation from the beginning to now is crazy. Looks really good and you should put a patent on your ivory acrylic. First time I have seen it used under the tank.

Ok a little update, i have managed to finally commission the sump and the other tanks for the dump room, the sump will be a hybrid Triton sump as i have a Dastaco CA reactor. Any feedbacks on tanks would be welcomed...
Thanks Caspian |
