P.S.
Don't forget to make holes for the close loop and overflow before you start to coat the foam.
The waiting to see the final set up is too much!

Thanks, Yeah I need to cut those out with the hot foam cutter, hopefully none will be where I made holes/swim thru's.

How thick is the Styrofoam? How will you attach it to the tank? Is this for your acrylic 180?

I used 2 sheets of 4'x8'x2", cut them down to 2'x6', that gave me 4 slabs for a total of 8", and the left over is 4 2'x2' squares for 8" which I used a small piece to make that cave, going to make 2 larger caves with the remaining foam. Yes it's for the 180 acrylic.

I'm going to stay away from coloring the cement, it will look like white base rock, but not for long as I'm going to use a couple of methods for speeding the purple coraline algea. Yes attaching with silicone.

The excitement and anticipation give me the energy to stay up.
