Es355lucille & KissMyWrasse 365g Tank Journal

[Ross]

10'-10" Long...
Thats not a tank, but a lap pool!

Great build!

[sphelps]

Very nice!

Not sure if you considered it but you can use an enhancer on that stone to darken it up a little, you can test the effect with water before you commit.

Thanks!......I have been thinking about this build for a year now....it took a while to get the combinations together that I wanted.

Me either Doc.....but I want to take my time with the fish room and see if I can get that right. No clue at this point what I am doing completely. Thanks for the comments.

I have to appologize and make a correction. Doug is the best "Contractor" that we ever hired! And we have a dining room hardwood floor to prove it. Sorry Buddy! Also thanks for the tank sitting! We really appreciate that!

Thanks sphelps, I will definatley consider what you are saying. I used that same product on the tile flooring that we did as well. Right now this wall is full of gyproc dust, so I am going to use a stiff brush first and it will brighten up quite a bit.......if not enough I will use the enhancer.
