I plan on installing this on one of the side walls to help with Circulation..i put a piece of "weed Blocker" on the front to keep the Frog from getting hurt...im gonna also have to punch in some holes cuz theres not alot of air flow...

I'd recommend putting material over the back as well, and mounting a little ways from the wall- if it's flush no air will pass through the fan. Also, woudn't that material impede airflow? Window screen might be a better option.

Mini update

put the final coat of thick grout on my tree trunk and then carved in bark and spent a few hours of dremel work fixing it..and then i put another layer of grout on the waterfall..and raised up a few edges where the water was overflowing...o and i also put the "weedblocker" on my F/B

i would probably do one more thin layer of grout on that waterfall. either stipple (dab) it on there or pour it in and let the excess run off. i'm thinking to get rid of the brush strokes...

all in all, everything's looking great!

Thats a good idea..i was thinking of ways to get those strokes out of there..do u think i could simply use a sponge?

soo not alot going on atm...kinda just letting everything cure before i do the final painting...

a few things i do have planed for this week tho

1) Buy a Glass top
2) make a partial screen for the glass top
3) Find a good light fixture
4) Finish the waterfall and the tree trunk

idk i think thats it for next week..i know i still have to make the background..make the river..but all this cant really get done tell i have all my other stuff made and ready...so its just kind of a waiting game..

Anyway thats it for now hope to get some more stuff done and some more pics for everyone soon.

**EDIT** what do you guys think i could use for a light Fixture...my tank is 30 inches long and id like to make sure i get plenty of light for my plants...
