Another week and another update.
Overall I did not get too much finished on the tank but I made myself do something each day even if it was for 15 minutes.
I added some details/texture to the back and right wall to make it look less man made by breaking up some of the straight lines and working on the tubes some.
I decided not to do much to the left wall for now just do a foundation of rock. The reason I did this is because I plan to have my floor rock higher in this area and transition down as the rock moves to the right. I may have one more blenny hole on that side later as well to help break up the lines.
The reasons I have not done much are I have not been much in the mood and did not want to do something just to finish it if that makes sense. I have been home remodeling and have been going to bed as late as 4 am this week.
The other reason is the floor. Back in the picture above I showed my floor being in 4 sections and then building it but looking at things this would not work so I am going to build the floor in 2 sections instead and cut it to fit. I did the right side yesterday and it has now hardened. I made it flat but later I will add some details and will make my flow holes etc after I know the lay out of the rock.
I was also going to attach the rock to the floor permanently but that goes against my flexibility plan.
If you look on the right side at the blenny hole you will see a zip tie sticking out. I may leave it just to annoy one of my co-workers who suffers from a slight case of OCD sometimes.

wrapped in a bag to slow the drying process:
To annoy my co-worker. I will train the fish to sit on it and take food later.
