good stuff.
i emailed you some pictures of some dats to see if you can tell what they are!
ones meant to be a thin bar or a silver and the others meant to be a pulcher, its pretty far away but if it turns out to be a pulcher, for the price i'd travel to the moon! ha
will look forward to seeing more pictures, got the camera today, will try and get some of some of my fish at some point today!
 
sorry no update today but the frame and bottom doors are made and go to the paint sprayer on sat :nod:

its getting close the floor and door will be finished of by the weekend

and i should be hanging the tank light in the morning

its all looking real good if i say so myself
 
so modest!! haha

no your right, it is looking very good, are you using an aquarium pendant for lighting or just something else, don't suppose there would be any need for you to buy an expensive light system really would there, how come you don't just spray the doors yourself! i love spray painting, i'd be having a whale of a time, you will have to take some pictures of the floor heating before its covered up, i want to see how your doing it, just being nosey!

looking good, looking forward to a few update pictures!

with the finish i want on the doors and tank frame it needs to go to a pro to get the high gloss finish im after

as for lights it will be a hanging T5 which i ordered from germany
 
ahh right, sounding good.
fair enough i suppose if a jobs worth doing its worth doing well!
yeah i love spray painting, did my gold in diamond black, but i used to work at a cabinet makers in the next town, where we made bespoke solid wood kitchens, i was the sprayer and we did some really high gloss finishes on unit doors, was good.
you think your going to finish it within budget????
 
update

the frame and doors will be going to get sprayed tomorrow :hey:

looks absolutely brilliant mate, im liking the light very neat. The front looks very tidy and i like the wood surround, what is it? Mdf? Is it going to be painted the red to go with the doors?
If im ever down your end i'll pop in for a brew and a view! Haha
 
The tanl frame shelf doors and door frame will all be sprayed in a high gloss brown to match the leather sofa and rubber flooring

the floor will go in tomorow i didnt take any pics of the flood but its screeded now
