Wonderful job - this is going to be a very first class set up.

Everytime I look again at your pictures think it's going to fantastic with the front to back depth you have.

Know there's others out there but reminded of Fudge's or http://www.oregonreef.com/sub_aquascaping.htm .

Need More Pictures, Do More Work!

This is really coming together untamed!

If I were you I would skin the entire tank top to match the stain of the bar counter. How heavy are the fake rocks? You could really get ballsy and do the top as a seamless boulder front...

When i saw those pics I was amazed that the rocks were not real. Amazing job laying those out for a natural feel. Do they look as real up close?

And is the tank back going to remain transparent? What about removeable back panels to completely hide the back room?

Keep it up!

The problem with the overtank wall/door is that it will overpower things if it gets too bold. I actually considered putting rock on it, creating a floor to ceiling rock effect...but the rock is far too heavy. (remember that those doors open) Now that the tank is uncovered, that wall doesn't bug me as much.

The stone looks as real as any of that stuff you see on the outside of houses. Most of that stuff is fake.

The back might remain transparent. The visible plumbing will be directly blocked by rockwork. The part directly between the overflows is the interesting section. There's a plan in place regarding rockwork and mirror that should block any direct view of the back room through the tank.As I intend to be spending a fair amount of time back there, I want to see into the tank from the back.
