Ok, I was not very good at taking pictures to document all the changes.....so here we go. We decided the tank would be well accented with: wood and stone. The contractor we used was beyond excellent and he did a great job!
The contractor is "Revision Construction" out of Cochrane. The guys name is Derek Kennedy and he is by far the best contractor we have ever used.

Here are some shots of the tank from different perspectives.



I don't have a lot of room between the top of the tank to the roof. My initial thoughts were HQI/T5 lighting because I have some. I may have to re-think LED because of the space and heat factor.

Here is the almost finished product. Lots of freekin gyproc dust still!! Everything needs a good cleaning.



Here is the next phase of the project.



I purchased a slab from Black Forest Wood Products in Calgary and my contractor is going to install this along the front of the tank......OH YA, Bar top baby!!!
