Sweet work dude... I plan on trying a similar project in the near future.
I like the shape of the rocks you made.

Looks like the project also requires a few

Thanks King Vinnie.

It's a lot of work and can be time consuming. As for the beer, if your going to mix concrete by hand I would recommend to anybody of legal age to have strong arms and an inebriated mind.

It's a diy 350g plywood tank with 7 coats of sweetwater 2 part epoxy. I also built a 150g sump of plywood and it has 6 coats of the epoxy.

I'm out looking for work right now so the 1/2" tempered glass I need to finish the project will have to wait.

The whole thing is on hold right now. Financial crunch.
This is strictly a concrete floor build.

Here's a link to the building of the background.
