75 gallon castle build

[Martin21114]

Another update. All the main structures are cut and assembled. I just need to finish cutting doors/windows, add the trim pieces, then build 3 wall sections (which are easy) and the castle will be done.

Edit: it looks kind of dookey with the flash. It looks much better in person in dim light, especially when wet.

Creeping up on the finish line. Almost time to start thinking about the stand. Here's where I'm at with the castle:

That's pretty cool

Can't wait to see it occupied

I don't envy your job keeping all those nooks clean - you'll need a power head & flexible line to blow it all out

Thanks for posting the updates.

How long until its finished & flooded?

I'm hoping to be done in a week or two, it all depends on the how patient my girlfriend is feeling regarding messes in the house lol. Cleaning it hopefully won't be too bad. The whole thing is modular so it can be pulled out in a few seconds. What Dianna does when she sees me hosing it off in our shower is another story, hahaha

I'm sad to see there aren't more updates on this!

Same here- did you manage to get it finished?

It's still coming along. I had to stop working on it for a while but I started again last weekend and got some more done. I'll post pics sometime this weekend. I really just need to finish the inside of 1 tower and the trim and windows on the main building. I'm trying to decide if I want to build the last tower the same as the other three or modify it to hide a sponge filter at the cost of the top floor.
