    Wow, thanks a lot guys! My thoughts on the tank was to use as much of the dead space of the tank i could. I appreciate all the friendly positive comments! =)

    As for the waterfall i just carved out styrofoam. Got everything looking like something i liked. Then adjusted the water path down the fall. Then i bought two bags of sanded grout. Black and silver. I did a coat of black... let it cure for about 30-45min. Then began the silver. The two will kind of blur together but it looks like it turned out pretty good. Let cure for 24-48 hours (do touch ups if needed) and then seal it with acrylic or marine apoxy resin. Watch the video at the bottom of the thread from AAAfrogs.

    Thank you all for such kind words! It is my first build. I hope i will have some happy little froggys hahhaa.

    PS - Any plant recommendations? Im thinking top right pot putting a philodendron green. A brom growing off the wood piece. Porthos in the big pot. Then two more broms on both sides of the waterfall. Followed by leaf litter. What do you guys think?
