It's not necessary BUT if it's indoor/outdoor paint it will add waterproofing.

She wanted the fish to have caves. She doesn't realize there will be coral too. There's little coves in the rock stack going to the back of the tank.

Yes to the sand. 10 lbs of Caribsea Fiji pink. Just waiting on water, which is waiting on new di resin. Ordered the resin today.

I have a second bag of sand... not sure if I should do both? Not sure if I want to try dsb.

No, I used my photos app on my phone. Dropped the blue balance almost to -100% and the saturation all the way to -100%.

The black and white I just added a filter. Mine has 4 built in B&W filters.

First try.. not to hard

If you can, adjust the white balance up on your camera. That'll be the easiest fix and then do some minor color adjustments on the photo afterwards.

Door in progress. First time using a handheld router to round the outside corner. I'll get a pic when I flip it... right now, the inside of the door.
