My first vertical conversion attempt

Looks good sherry! Have you thought about rotating each 180° and reversing sides? That would give you a sort of triangle in the corner to which you could build your water fall in. And your other tank just needs some decent plants in there. I have a plant in mind, but i have to get you the name of it when i get home after work.
And yes, working on cars for a living is a pita. I specialize in diagnostics, so my world is full of frustration......lol

Thank you Bill! I like your idea of rotating the rock wall pieces! I gave them their first coat of paint a little while ago> For some reason the paint didn't stick as well to the second one. I have to do a couple more coats anyway... I used the spray bottle as a 'spray can'. I mixed the black and white acrylic paint to the color I wanted and added water so it would come out of the bottle easier. I like this method because it is A LOT faster than using a brush!

That actually is a great idea, problem being is that a water based acrylic paint will be diluted by the water and probably would affect it's adhesion properties.

****! Should I just use a brush then? I just like how the guy did it in the video. You could still see a little of the brown grout showing through and it looked cool! Oh well, It will still be the best build ever!

You can use a brush. You can always let it set up and then give it a little rub a dee dub to wear some paint off to give it a weathered look.
