Got some pieces in and got my tank in. Trim is going gloss white. Just waiting on my glass cutter because someone on eBay listed the tank as plastic but it's definitely not haha.

Anyone else have stuff collected yet?

Nice! Can’t wait to see the setup!

Got out and collected some natural decorations for the tank last weekend and picked up some trash while my wife and I were picking out rocks and driftwood. All soaked in bleach to kill any bacteria and in its 3rd RO water bath to clear the bleach and make them nice and clean.

I’m still searching for the right tank,bowl, who knows yet hahaha

I got my 1.5 gal in yesterday and a few decorative pcs. I cannot believe this is 1.5 gallons. it looks like something I would put candy in. Got to "think" smaller.
Some of the other stuff I was going to scape with apparently will not be here till mid to late August, so I am going to have to rethink inside the box, or go a different route.

Yeah you have to assemble them underwater haha. Forgot to tell you that

 

[TheEngineer]

Welp.... looks like I’m in!

This is technically a 2.2 gallon tank but it won’t be filled all the way. Is that OK?

How could you not?! Haha

As far as I understand it’s total water volume so after sand and deco you should be good [emoji106]

 

[TheEngineer]

Ordered the last of the decorative supplies today (I think). I’m really excited about this build. It is going to be based around this 3D printed model of an oil rig.

Is that a R2 unit in the background? @TheEngineer

Haha. Oh man, you win the attentive photo viewer award.

It is one of the old sharper image robots. It has a giant remote control with a video monitor that you can drive it around and interact with people. It also has two serving trays for drinks and snacks. Before you go too far, NO I DID NOT EVER USE THIS AT PARTIES! I'm a nerd, but not that kind of nerd The battery on it is dead and I haven't taken the time to find a replacement. So it sits like a sentinel at the door to my office.;Stig

You could have noticed my freshly painted dining room across the hall that used to be purple, but NOOOOOOOOO....

I love it! Talk about creativity!

 

[TheEngineer]

Got some LEDs in this is gonna work out nicely I think. Going for a deep sea look. I’m waiting for the last decorative piece to get here so I can start doing some building!

 

[ilyad]

I also started doing a bit of work. I’ll start doing updates this Friday once the tank is in its place at work.

 

[JerSaint]
