Just a thought. :-\

I know we are all eagerly awaiting updates but I've just moved house and have a home full of possessions, two little kids and 9 other tanks to organize. I promise I will post an update when I pick this project back up.

With the button panel on.

Started painting the inside of the TV to try and protect it from moisture. I just painted over all the junk in the bottom instead if trying to remove it. The false bottom will cover it anyway. Also painted the two sides of the tank black so there's no chance of seeing the white paint in the inside. The foam background will be going back in to cover the back.

The gap that is in the front may not be as noticeable if you paint it the same color as the substrate that you put in the tank.. Maybe if you use gavel you could glue some of the gravel to the wood so that the bottom gap looks like substrate. Just an idea. I am following I want to see the final product. Great job so far
