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.

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.

Amazing setup so far. would love to have a pint at that bar!!

As for lights your only choice should be leds. After recently switching I can say this is the future, my tank has never looked better and the whole room doesn't dim when the halides fire up lol.
