195 gal Show Tank

[LoveTheFishies]

So I'm getting close to getting my show tank set up.  Thought I'd post some before, during and after pix.  Also, Steve inspired me to make a background to hide all the filter hoses, heaters and so forth. 

Here we go.

Couple more

Background.  They are shaped more like overflow covers.  Only going on the ends so you can see through the long sides.

Whittling away.

I think they are starting to look pretty good.  Just change up the shade and lightly apply alittle more each day.

Looking very good! That foam gets everywhere when ya start shaping it doesn't it

[LoveTheFishies]

Yep, up the nose, in the ears.

Those are some realistic rocks you've created.
Kudos, they're gonna look spectacular.

I skipped to the end and had to go back to figure out if those were real of fake, nice work.

I love the sink under the tank, awesome :-)

I think thats going to be my favorite feature.  Plus the pillars will hide all the cords and hoses.
Got the doors today.  They will match the doors in my kitchen.

I was a little skeptical at first.  Was very happy the way they were looking.

Very nice.  Great work.

Thanks everyone.  The stand is getting it's final coat of finish.  They the doors have to be installed.

Then put the backgrounds in and let them cure.  Hopefully have it filled up for 2014.
