That's why I went so high with it. Got a cave thingy built that I'm putting lights inside, that will be in the cliff.

Sounds like you got this all planned out !
You gonna put a statue inside the tank still ? I remember you toying with the idea.

Yes. Namor is in water right now. No noticeable problems. The two busts I had in water for months are fine. One problem I didn't notice at first. The clear resin on the Marrina bust turned a little white. It looks natural, and doesn't bother me at all. Probably look better this way underwater. I believe it was caused by the sun.

The stand and top piece; and the entertainment center will probably be made from maple face plywood. I'll have to buy some maple for trim. Never worked with anything besides pine before. Hope it won't be a challenge.

There's no fish in it yet. Using buckets to test the paint on the busts/statue.
I should get a container big enough for all the items I plan to put in the tank, and buy some feeder goldfish, and see how the PH from the fish will affect each other.
Will post pics as they become available.
