tiling
Tiling is very easy. You can get a dry tile cutter but renting a wet saw is cheap and makes short work of sizing up the tiles. You will need mastik to stick them on with and grout to fill in the gaps. You will a trowel for the mastik and a float for the grout. It is important to have a good base to put the tiles on..if you have a flimsy base then all will be more difficult. Build the ledge as you would like it and then cover it with the tile.

Yes Paul, thats what I was thinking. But level with the bottom of the tank. So the shelf covers the foam and a little bit of the sand.

Me Likes, Paul
 What program you using to draw with? I have Autocad 2008, but I'm not that good with the 3D aspect.

Here is what I did ...
http://canreef.com/vbulletin/showthr...t=49882&page=3 Hope it helps... It is best not to use a plywood for your backerboard... especially in wet areas... Pick up some densheild or hadri backer. If you have any questions let me know. One thing that is important is to ensure that you used a modified thinset and silicon all of the areas where tile meets glass or any other materials ie walls, do not grout these areas or the grout will crack. If you have to grout them to achieve a better look than use a clear silicon over the grout after it has dried. You can use a sanded or a non-sanded grout whatever you prefer for the look... I would seal all of the grout to avoid staining from the saltwater or beverage spills  .
