Watching this one too. What are your plans for water re-circulation?

forgot the camera at the shop this weekend. didnt really get too much done anyways. i built the water falls. i decided to make them short so i could see if it would fit through in one piece. and it did. so i foamed them together. we will see how it comes out. i cut out the "river" in the foam. my brother in law works at a boat manufacturer, so i might see if he could just dip the entire creation into some resin for me. because it is a big pain in the butt right now. it is going to take a lot to paint it with resin.

Welcome aboard! This looks like it's gonna be fun to watch.

There's a new sponsor that sells plants and supplies. You might try him for what you need. Here's his thread.
