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!!!
