I think that looks good. Any chance of a side shot of the front panel to see the relief you were able to create?

Thanks and Absolutely. I took a bunch of shots from all angles when I installed it. Just need to organize and resize the pics but work is getting in the way

They'll be on here in a few days.

I've now got the background in place in the aquarium. I put a light bead of silicone around the back edge to hold it in place and gave it a couple of days to cure. Here's some pics from all angles of it in the dry tank.

From left side

Top down angle

Looking straight down

I forgot to mention that I had cut out overflows. Here's a close up look at them.

Here's a front on shot. The bottom portion will be covered by live rock placed on the base plate.

Overall I am pleased with how it turned out. Now looking forward to getting it wet.

I can't wait to see it up and running as well!

Very cool. I've been toying of doing this for my 210 instead of a painted background. Looks good, well done.

Wow that's a lot of work in a 210.
