It's gonna be awesome mate. I've been showing the wife, trying to convince her that we should replace our dining table with a tank like yours. She's not having any of it though, haha! :D

Could you get one of those underwater cameras, attach it to a submarine and film an adventure in that landscape?

:lol: im sure I could try getting one of the waterproof cases for my little point and shoot and setting it to film luis. Might give that a try actually. That's my mission once its running.

Funnily enough I had the garden chair in the dining room yesterday evening after id climbed out of the tank and sat just staring at it for a while.

Thanks mate :D
 
Couldn't resist getting in to see if the wood fits. This isnt how it will look but found it hard to stare at it empty. The wood will also be flowing from the back right corner when in properly

Simply breath taking... now with the timber in the tank, really can't wait to see this planted up.

Something I been wondering thou, with such a large tank are you considering covering top to minimise evaporation and condensation in room. I have to top up my 120l open top tank regularly...

Thanks mate. Im really really looking forward to getting it all set up. Its torturous having to wait until the 8th of november to get it started.
Its a real struggle leaning into the tank. Ive no idea how Sanj did his.

Good question and I definitely am going to be having an acrylic top to minimise the evaporation yes. Obviously it cant cover the whole area as it will have cut outs where the wood is above water. My current tank has been losing quite alot since the weather has gotten colder. The summer wouldnt be a problem.
Ive even got the dehumidifier on during the night.

Are you sure you aren't green from the reflections of the millions of plants that will be going in there?!;) Can't wait to see the plant deliveries!

thats a bad boy al and can envisage how look its going to look when planted, not to mention with 100 chocolates serenely drifting around. Absolutely will be booking a trip up to you in the new year!!
I actually quite like the wood layout in the image above mate but thats just me. What are your thoughts plant wise to filling in behind the wood and around the back areas or leaving open?
