The cement needs to cure for 30 days before I can apply the epoxy layers. It's a heavy solids 2 part epoxy. Three layers on top of two precoats.
I have one last thing to do though - I need to chip a little groove around the reef sump to tank PVC connections and seal them. It's another measure to make sure there's no surface leakage around the PVC. I have the concrete hammer to do it - just need to do it and it's hot in Texas.

Looks great.
I know there is still much to do, but it must be gratifying to look over what you have accomplished.

I tend to be a perfectionist though so if I'm not making progress, I see all the flaws instead. I do need some help coming up too - lot of epoxy and plumbing!
