pretty cool but I will withhold my final opinion until I see it full of water and life...
Great potential though IMO.

I can bring you a bunch of 1"x1" squares of travertine when I pick up food. I will give them to you in trade for knowledge and perhaps a lesson in how to glue frags to them in the first place. I will set some aside from the project, so they are not gobbled up by this project. I am wanting broken marble for the retaining walls, but I think my hubby is going for the manicured look. I am building all my broken stuff now, just to prove him wrong...

Hubby and I have been together so long, but this tank has us bickering just like the first two years we were together...

oh wow...
you leave a thread for a couple weeks and wow.
That is one of the most custom custom tanks I have ever seen.
I cannot wait to see if filled with water and when you get the color of corals in there, I think it will be very stunning.
Looks great in the room as well, all in all, a very nice set up.
I shold have before, But I am now subscribed.
