So I finally got a chance to take time awake and begin my fish tank project. I tried uploading the pictures here, but the files were just to big, and I am very lazy to resize them. So here is the link to my photobucket! Please enjoy!

Haha, I was thinking of painting the wall a light grayish color. I don't know, I will leave that up to the wife, but you are def. correct Joserr07. A little color would bring out the tank a little more.

Does anyone know where i can get a nice background that has a picture of just tropical water with the ripple/wave effect? I don't want that plain dark blue or black, but any actual picture of a tropical water like you would see if you were to scuba dive in the bahamas or something....

Looks like its time to go saltwater......Its in the perfect place and it would be gorgeous there. You could do a fish only and make it sweet. Just throw a HOB protein skimmer.....and throw in some salt....bam your done. :) But really......thats a sweet tank and a really nice build. Very impressive!

lol kraigt...yes, it is a very sweet display (especially when the lights are out...can well imagine)
though I prefer as natural as possible tanks...this tank in the wall has its place for sure, and to have accomplished such a feat without ruining an interior wall, kudos alone for this (((thumbs up)))

haha, thanks guys. I would love to start saltwater. Knowing me if I start with just fish, I will absolutely start putting coral, etc.... So I am guess non of you know where I can get a nice background? Maybe a website? I googled around and the only thing I can find are plan colors.
