Thanks so much for the inputs guys
The wall in front of the tank is going to be cultured rock.. making the tank look kind of like it is in a live rock cave... almost like when you walk along the rocks at the Ocean...
Here is my contractor getting the wall ready
This is the rock... see the faux shells and stuff?
The fireplace to the left will also be covered in this
For about 8 mo. I have been collecting live rock from all of the tanks of friends that aquiesce.... This is my 500lbs + Bucket of rocks
More pics as things finish
