The Gymno-Background.

what it's not installed yet in the tank with the fish swimming around LOL!

Well, Divine, the build is almost over. For the moment, you'll have to be happy with that...

Today, it was time to put epoxy and sand on the pile of rocks.



So, they're under the sand.



Also my two additional rocks (for weight) got done.



But, I still had some epoxy left when I at the end of the road.



So, I''ve put an additional layer of epoxy to the bottom-side of the roots.



Tomorrow and the day after are going to be busy days.



But, the background should be finished by then...

I show you the pile of rocks, without loose sand.






Some close-ups.



We drove today to IKEA. I've bought there a new rack for my bedroom and a new table. This table actually is the first purchase for the background of the next winter, because it's bought with the intention to support the mould of 300x70x70-cm.



I've bought also 3 LED-spots.



My corner now looks like this.



The roots are laying with th upper side upwards.



Could this be epoxy..?



Final result, taken with a flash.

The finished pile of rocks looks like this.



Taken under a flash.



Some close-up's.



Erik dropped by and glued this power strip to the aquarium.



And, these glass plates. In order to get a straight bottom.



We agreed that the 3D-background will be placed inside the tank, the day after tomorrow.



Before that moment I need to put epoxy and sand on the artificial tree.



Also the baseplate could use another layer of sand.



Some time later, the artificial tree is done.






You see..?



And, on the baseplate lays another layer of sand.

My corner looks like this, today.



With my second computer connected to amplifier, finally.



At 17.00 h the sun suddely starts to shine. The Vesten of Lier.



The bicycle path to the Tuinweg.



I arrive...



At Galgeveld...















It was very cold.



On the way home: Zevenbergen.



Where it was equally cold.



At home, I needed to do the inside of the artificial tree.









Results.
