Both sides and a few rocks are highlighted. Will see how it dries Note how much lighter coloured the render gets once dry

Siliconed in, just gotta do a bit of touch up and a bit of extra rendering.
 
Stay tuned for a new pic

 

[Alasse]

Rendering done...
 
I've just gotta zip upto the shop and see if they have some black cloth tape, then i can finish what i am up to and i'll grab a pic (its still not finished though lol)

In tank

 
Note the colour difference between the original render and the newer render, it took 4 days for the orginal to dry so i am hoping the new will come into line with the old, if it doesnt i will run a complete light layer of new render over the top, i want it to match! So fingers crossed. I did take note of render/oxide/water mix this time so it should match lol Time will tell. At least with just having to throw i light layer over it will be dry by the weekend, ready to seal again.
 

 
Now the black cloth tape: I use this to tidy the tank, this is a very old very well used tank and was looking a bit ratty around the edges, so i tape them so the front of the tank essentially ends up like a picture frame, handy for old tanks.
