one word........ wife.

trust me i tried. i wanted to do a freshwater planted tank but it was overruled

I really like your backup and ballast wall. Nice and neat! What cement did you use for your aquascaping?

Looking good!

thanks. i used super glue gel from lowes and a bunch of it. once it all dried i just put some 2 part epoxy in the joints for some stability/backup.

It looks very nice! Just set one of these babies up myself. Just out of curiosity, what kind of floor is it sitting on - slab?

 

[Pushwood]

Looks great! You did a great job keeping it really clean and tidy, love the cat pics too! haha

Thanks a lot. it is on a slab. the cat cant get enough of the sump. he always tries to get in it. oddly he likes water.
