Yeah I'm starting to plan the cabinets for underneath and I wanna do granite for the bar. Just most of my expertise stops at setting up the fish tank lol, I need to get some guys that do real construction over here

The granite will cost like 210$ for a sheet. The work is what costs. But if you do it simple it can be done for under 550$. I added bull nose and a backsplash and an angle so it was closer to a G after I finished. I gave Scott Pciscott the number. I I find it ill pm it to you.

Sometimes there's prefabbed kitchen pieces.

Sweet, thanks for the heads up. I want to do some kind of nice molding at least; not really sure about what all the options are. I'm gonna go wander around the cabinet stuff at HD and see if anything tickles my fancy. I've got Scott's number though maybe I'll get a little insight from him..

Instead of granite I would go w Caesarstone because u don't have to do any annual maintenance to seal the granite. This product looks like granite without worrying about maintenance and staining. It is a bar/aquarium so a lot of liquid that could possibly stain the granite.

One died the first night, but I haven't found any bodies since. I only never see more than 4 at once, but does seems like they're in mini schools/teams in different spots around the tank. I'm digging them.
