Aquarium Bar build

[JDigital]

I just noticed looking back at the 99% finished product pic that the ONLY thing I can actually nitpick (sorry.. ) about is the black trim on the tank... it kinda throws off the aesthetic balance of the room (to my eye anyways), as the room is trimmed all in bright white.

Would look awesome as a Rimless but I assume it's to late to remove it, perhaps testing out some bright white tape on the trim (then paint white later) would work to see if it blends into the surroundings better but still catches the eye of the viewer.?? Just tossing it out there. :P

It's funny you should mention that because I've been toying with various ideas about finishing the trim around the tank. Right now there is a gap around the tank that shows the styrofoam. I've pondered covering the bottom with some finger joint trim, but that may not work for the top of the tank. White tape might be the answer for that though, thanks for the idea.

I'll pst pics when I can to see what people think.

Just thought I'd share a couple pics of the tank with some updated aquascaping and tank trim.

Well done. Outstanding carpentry job and I really like the tank, simple but beautiful aquascaping. Now you just need to add a few bottles of some nice wine and I'm ready for the tank tour

Bottom trim looks great danny! What did you end up doing with the upper tank trim? Got a FBS (full bar shot)?

Oops, I have to appolgize about the missing pics. I didn't realize that re-organizing my photo bucket albums would result in link being broken. I'll post a FBS soon.

The top trim is still black for now because I haven't been able to locate glossy white tape. I wanted to use the tape first before commiting to glueing any kind of moulding in place.

If you are looking for white tape, try your local hobby shop, they have trim for the model airplanes that will come in gloss white and it is easy to work with and very durable (has to hold up to fuel)
