Wow, the scribing cuts looks really good. Great choice going with those. Looks like you have your first livestock in the tank as well, that spider looks happily content until he's flooded.

Love this stuff but the prep-work for the floor was brutal.





The stand is done except for the doors now. The scribing process was pretty painstaking but I'm really happy with the end result. I have to go back and carefully touch up the paint in a few grooves still...





My helper playing in the 'secret tunnel'...



Not a very flattering shot as the harsh lights down here right now show a few seams. You can just make out something in the groove for the left vertical line. On this panel as luck would have it I hit ALL FOUR screws that were used to mount the panel originally. I didn't want to try and move them and screw things up but nobody but me will notice I think.
Looks terrific!

That one (and a few others in there) are dried-up-dead. There is however a big black one that likes to hide under the bath towel I have laying in there. He bolts for the towel whenever the lights turn on.

Between spiders, dust and debris I have some serious shop-vac and wiping to do in both tanks when the time comes!
