Just so no one thinks I've been slacking, here is an update.
Finished cementing the water feature and ledges. Covered them with epoxy resin and I have begun the silicon and coco fibre step. Quickly ran through two tubes this morning. So before I picked up the kids from school ran and got two more tubes to finish the job when it cools down in the garage tonight, it was over 100degrees in there this afternoon.
This has to be my favorite step so far and not nearly as messy as people have written about! It really feels as if I am nearing the end!
I will be placing both pieces in the tank tomorrow. I have loosened the cork from the GS and will silicon it into place in the tank adding some more GS where the cork meets the background and the glass then silicon and coco it up. I will not be adding a second waterfall/dripwall however, (thanks for the idea though, Meghan), as I have an 18x18x24 ExoTerra I picked up off of Craigslist and will be using my spare pump in that, I think.
This is getting addictive! Hoping to get this project done soon, then get to some fast paced Ebay sales for a week, then onto the Exo tank for my son who wants some Leucs, so I can have it set up before I go out of town for a week. Too bad I don't have the space for both this project and my photo studio in the garage, but DH insists on parking in the garage.
