65 Gallon Acrylic Vivarium Build

[thercman]

Thanks! Now that I have them, it has put a bit of a fire under my butt to get the larger tank finished. I have been kind of short on funds for that project though. This Friday is Pay Day so I am going to order the bulkheads and black silicon since those are the 2 items that are really holding me up. Wednesday I am going to get the substrate for the bottom of the water feature. It will also be used to fill in around the egg-crate. The substrate is black so it should look nice. It is CaribSea Eco-Complete. If I choose do so this stuff will allow me to put plants in the water. If I can pick some plants that root under water and grow above it that would make for a nice look I think........

I live in Spokane WA.... We are expecting a couple inches of snow tonight into tomorrow I think.

Ahh, Spokane, it all makes sense now. I was raised in Kent, WA. We didn't get nearly the snow you get in Spokane, but we got a lot of rain. I miss the mountains so much! I don't live near any mountains nowadays, but I get to visit them once in awhile, as one of my sons lives in Portland, OR.

BTW, your tank design is fantastic, and it will be gorgeous when you're finished, I'm betting. I'm going to have to keep following this thread! Have fun!

are there any updates

Other than the getting my Cobalts yesterday and waiting on some parts I am in limbo until this weekend to early next week. I really want to drill the back of the tank before I start adding the background. Once the bulkheads are installed the building should go fast. I will post the updates as soon as they come to pass.... :-)

We got a bit of snow here in Lake Stevens/Everett the other day... Stupid pain in the butt snow...
