Can't wait to see the tank when it's set up

That looks really cool! Although i cant imagine how much it cost for the glass :/ keep in mind that because of the critical angle of viewing when you look into the tank sides will appear as mirrors which could be a weird sensation when in the bathroom LOL. And also im assuming youre putting that huge and beautifully made ornament as a center piece? because it would be weird considering that youre in the bathroom and the other side is a kitchen :P
And as for advice. umm so at homedepot you can buy DIY like closet sliding door mounts. like they are basically rails that go under or above closet doors so that you can slide the,. you might wanna consider constructing a system that is similar to a claw drop toy machine so that you can move and slide the lights around :P

like that claw thing on top but with lights :P

only thing missing is a bubble under the aquarium for your very lucky kids to stick their heads in and observe the fish

Its a wonderful project and im looking forward to see it completed!

Sawadee krap (hello in Thai). My grew up at a Northern state in Malaysia near Thailand and used to watch Thai TV. So I managed to pick up some basic Thai by watching TV.

Your LED lighting set looks interesting. I have never seen such LED lighting set in Malaysia yet. May I know the length of it? Did you get it from the famous Chatuchak market (assuming you're in Bangkok)? How much is it? You can even tell me in baht

Sawadee krap, the led lightning was cheap a few 100 bath..

Now i made the first pice, some pictures.

Only coulor.

Whith epoxy, very glossy


Under water it looks more nice, maybe little bit strong coulors, but i like that.

Below 200 baht?

May I borrow your photo with the lighting set? I wish to show it to some of my friends in another forum. khob kun Krap (Thank you in Thai).

No, i dont remember exactly, but think it was around 500 bath.

Yes offcourse you can...
