There are four main things I wanted to do with this project. The first was to make a fancy background for my (eventual) dwarf puffers. The second was to have a little hollowed out portion to put a plant in (almost like a built-in pot). The third was to have a decent overhang for some nice shade. The fourth, and final goal, was to have a faux overflow setup (similar to a sump) built into the tank.
I'm hoping that, assuming the plan goes well, that I can accomplish all of these. I've run into a couple snags, such as my coats of cement cracking and falling off the foam background. I've attempted to remedy this by putting on an extremely thick coat, but we'll see how it goes, I suppose.
So far, these are the only pictures I have. I will update it as I progress further!
