Very nicely done. Did you have any problems with the Quikrete cracking as it cured? Did you have to keep it wet with a mister to prevent this?

I'm going to do something very similar for a turtle tank I'm building.

Instead of water, I use a liquid acrylic so it cures slowly. No need to mist. The product is called Quikrete Acrylic Fortifier.

Thanks!

This is awesome, your tanks are the coolest ive seen! Does the water at the bottom get filtered, how? Could you keep some small fish in it?

[lanman802]

Yes, there's a filter hiding under the waterfall that feeds filtered water to the waterfall and dripline. I have had fish in the tank before. Thanks for your comments!

Awesome looking tank!

What type of paint do you use? Krylon?

[lanman802]

There's a "Ace" brand enamel paint on the outside of the tank to hide the styrofoam. No paint inside, but a liquid color added to the cement mix.
