Looks really good. Looks like way to time consuming to do. 10/10

It took me 2 days on the 30 and the same for the ninety. The 125 is in process now! Only reason it took 2 days is the drying time.

Awesome background! I made one too for my 8' tank. Instead of pipe I just used flat sheets of white insulation and cement. It took around 1 week to do it all, phew! I attached a picture.

I think I might take you pipe idea and make a movable part that hides a filter in my tank. My next move is to add java moss to the cement where it has some imperfections, see pic ( http://www.walltanks.com/blog/java-moss ... tic-plant/ ).
