after finishing the 10 gallon desktop background that you will find earlier in this forum, I decided that I would move onto a 20 gal long. This tank is going to be in my children's room. This is an old tank, kinda beat up, but i think that it will do the trick. Not sure what I am going to put in here yet, but some kind of dwarf cichlid more than likely.
the first pictures are of the foam after it was cut and siliconed together. I then used a propane torch to help round out some areas and make it look a bit more natural. The concrete mix will help smooth out alot of the rough areas, so I wasn't very particular about it. You can see where the bio-wheel filter will be placed in the back and on the side there is space for a powerhead that will be directed across the gravel bed to keep the waste from settling, and it has a sponge pre-filtter on it that i will be able to easily access and clean.
as you can see, i just used the pink insulatng foam that you can buy at your local HD.
I'll add the pictures of the tank after the first coat of cement mix in a minute or two.
