Very nice did you silicone the rocks on? Did you cut them flat on the back first?
Really love the wall with sand behind it.

Thanks for all the replies everyone. One of the plans is for the stand to be clad in stone. We know a stone mason, so when we are ready he will do it for us, since we are doing his tile soon. The stone was cut on a tile saw, and yes they were cut flat and siliconed to the travertine...

I will be updating the flicker photo page shortly with some more pictures. There is water in tank but it is not full yet. We are hoping to have it done for Christmas. I just noticed I do not have any pictures of the tank with water in it. I will add them later when the water clears ups a little bit.

Just an update. There are now photos of the tank with water in it. I have to say it sure looks different.

Tank is looking good, I enjoy checking out your tank build tread, and can't wait to see the tank with fish and coral in there.
