A lot of work has been done, getting closer to being finished. Here are a couple pictures of the wall covering construction its a full life size print of things to come. Took some better pictures of the hostess bow too.

Plumbing is finally done..turned out really nice. Took quite a bit of time "3 Days" to line everything up but it paid off with the finished product.

Transom art work has been added but still need to add gold stripe to the bottom also my company logo which i had made in gold. Transom will have matching bullnose wood work as the rest of bar. I should have that installed in the next few days. Also have custom glass tile to cover the rear of the overflow box should be really nice when done. I will post what the mason jar does in front of the sump that is a reaally cool extra that was added. Just trying to work out the details before I post videos but so far it works really well.
Lots more pics to come so stay tunned

Took a couple pictures today been very busy getting this tank together. Wont be long before its 100% done. I used glass tile for the back of the tank instead of vinyl wrap looks really good. Light passes through the tile since I used clear silicone to attach no grout was used to keep tile more light friendly.

Couple pics of the back of tank. I will be using this type of tile for future builds I think it looks great.

Got a couple more pictures to share.. I added some fish and corals a couple weeks ago but still have a ways to go before tank is fully stocked. Final touches have been made to the boat transom along with the top of tank. Tile floor still has to be finished around the tank but for the most part it is complete.

Once partition wall is down i can take some better pictures from the front. Should be down by the end of this week. Also getting more livestock this week so still pretty busy. Shes going to be a good looking tank once all the livestock is added.

A couple fish calling this 600 home. The clowns I have had for couple years they really liked the step up in size even though they dont stray far from the carpet.
