Decided on paint color yet?

Will you be putting in any wood or decorations? Or are you going to leave it an 'open' pond?

hey mate.. decided on a white paint for outer.. the inner cemented (tileless) area will get a coat of white cement.. i don't think there will be any wood going into the tank / water.. there is this branch that is sun dried.. thinking bout stripping the bark and hanging it from the roof or bolt thru the gap between the frosted glass panes and the tank/sump dividing wall.. well lets see.. the final work is getting delayed.. 3 days and no work..

I think the white is going to look sweet. Can't wait for work to resume and pics to be uploaded.

The prep work got done for the painting and mahogany finish for the frame.. guess it will take a couple of days for the whole paint part to get done..

White cement coat on outer wall..

White cement coat on inner cemented area..

The first coat for the mahogany finish on the frames..

Yes.. it is.. i was actually skeptical about the paint part of it.. but thanks/ credit goes to you mate.. if you hadn't asked i'd have left it as is.. or as was rather..
