I decided after so much time playing skyrim I wanted a castle wall in my tank. So I set about building this! Each piece was individually cut, textured, painted and created to fit the tank. It also wraps around the sides of the tank as well. Soon the rock work, and plants will go in then next week the tropheus

It took about a week to allow for drying of the paint etc, but was pretty easy to make. I was going to build one for the 6x2 but then I took an arrow to the knee!! Ahahahaha

Hey Tim, that archway is going to have a jarrah gate in it to make it look authentic the blue is the wall behind and I'm off to get a dragon on Tuesday!
The sponge is temporary Andrew, it's from an existing tank and is just for cycling, couldn't see the othe filtration could ya
The paint I used boof is a pond sealant paint from bunnings, they didn't sell grey so I have to mix my own
Hey azza, it's made from styrofoam pieces siliconed in place
Cheers for the input guys

One extra thing you'll need for the tank is to get the "detected"icon printed onto a sticker for the front of the tank.
As in this icon
