28 gallon build thread

[mvm]

I'm setting up a 28 Nano Cube. Here are a few pics of the rock wall in progress.
Here is a pic of the rock zip tied to the eggcrate. I used 1" pvc to make a frame to support the rocks.

So far, I'm pretty happy with the results. I'm picking up the epoxy paint, crushed coral and sand tomorrow to finish it up. I hope to have water in it by the weekend!!

I like that idea. Can't wait to see the finished product...

Looks great! I like the Dwight bobblehead in the background. I have the Michael bobblehead.

Yep. I liked the black because it will be easier to tell when it's fully covered with the sand so that I know not of it is exposed to UV.
I've been busy and haven't put the epoxy and sand in yet. Hopefully tonight.

Looks good I thought you had a 60 though. Where is this one going to reside?
