Just found this thread, read through it, and then banged my head on the desk for the release of suspense. I expected to see the tank full and stocked with 21 pages of responses. or atleast the decos in the tank cycling ;-)

Awesome build!!! I must say, I would love to have the creativity in order to make deco's and tanks like that, I'd go professional and charge people to build them. I'm telling you, you could make tons selling tanks like that to rich people

Thanx. Its been fustrating just getting time to do anything on this tank. But, maybe a bit of a silver lining. I have a very good friend who I am setting up a 120G for in L.A. It is slated to have a decor piece built for it. This weekend I have to kickoff the tank - setup the filters and fill the tank to start the cycling. While thats going on I gotta start the decor piece. So once again I got to stop this project but happily get on another one. Wish me luck. Hope to post on that too.

aarrrrgggghhhh!!!!!!! I can not believe I get to the end and you leave us in suspense!! Absolutely awesome build. I know you got life going on around you, but come on man....
Give us some love here! It's a shame for an artist to not show the world what they see. Let your light shine man let it shine... on this particular project first.. then move on...

Seriously, way awesome build dude... congrats

OK,OK!
This one has been restarted after I finished the "Swamp Shack" tank:

Thanx Judon for the encouragement. The "Shack" was an opportunity I couldnt pass up. Sometimes you gotta do that. I learned A LOT doing it and that will help me out on this tank. Things have been a bit rough but I really want to get this one done. So far I have several "scenes" done but Im working on a really difficult one right now.
Love that avatar, by the way. Thats how I feel after being up all night putting this madness together.
