What if you were to drop the paneling down from the ceiling some, and then put the trim at the ceiling instead like crown moulding? Or is there some up there already? Guess I'll see it tomorrow morning.

THIS^^^^^ It looks So out of place with the rest of the wall. almost to the point of an after thought. see ifyou can get a hold of some molding or something with some depth and then stain it a little darker than the current wood paneling. give it a nice high gloss varnish. ...im thinking a cherry slightly darker than the paneling..

this seems to have a bit of a rustic look which from memory the rest of your room does not.

I like the rustic look Mel. maybe like lindsey said it don't really match the well. Can't remember what your furniture look. Maybe you take a pic of the whole room from the kitchen so we can get better look.

I'm loving your pictures, Mel. Keep em comin..... I can just imagine what an awsome tank that will be. With you and Mr. Bill teaming up........ WOW !

I agree with bill I think u need a different trim like some fancy molding or maybe brick tilelike in this vid

It looks much better in person, But I still think there is a better solution inside Mel's head it's just still rolling around with all the loose nuts up there! Hahahaha JKA

And it looks a lot BIGGER in person! Amazing tank Mel! We've been to Mel's!!!!! Wooooooo!!
Thanks for everything Mel and Michael. Gonna hook all this up and try to get my tank visitor worthy! I miss your fish already, though--get one of those web cams going so I can watch em all day.

The trim definitely looks much better in person. A little two blue for me, but the tank is looking very good. Always a good visit at Mel's.

[New Wave]

Yea... ITs gonna be a little bright! With the last build.. Imhad trouble controling the light in the "fish rOom" with the mh's I had algae growing in the skimmer, rodi, calcium reactor and other places... So this time I'm going tomb putting most of the equipment in cabinets... Luckily I know a place i can get them! I started working on them today... So maybe I'll have more photos soon... Good grief!! There is still soooooooooo much to do! Man! I love this crap!

:)

 

[New Wave]

so... this is pretty fun... maybe... just a glance at my kids... one of the things ive improved on this build is noise... if you listen you can hear the kitchen faucet being turned on in the background... this one is MUCH quieter... but lets not pretend thats why i posted this :)

say hello to the wet side of the family...
