Hey guys
As a Star Wars Nerd I always wanted a Star Wars tank even tried to made a Hoth inspired tank back in the day. For this Nuvo 14 I reached out to Chandler Rocks to build a crashed star destroyer scape. It soon turned into much much more
Enjoy the pics

Great base and was pretty happy but just did not give me the feel I wanted so I went down a rabbit hole.

Once the shape was set started adding damage and details. I know eventually it will be covered but I was on a roll, almost don’t wanna put it in a salt water tank anymore haha. Now here it is as of today

Wow, I have never seen something g like this, but I love it!

Do you plan to put corals on it, or leave it as is and let algae grow on it, or keep it clean?
 
It’s going be my isolation tank for my larger tank so minimal light no corals. I’m looking to use a dye or paint to cover the top in a light grey make it look more like the reference picture. Prob keep it as clean as I can for a while haha

Or go opposite and make it a betta tank

Nerd approved.
 
This is epic. Thank you for sharing. I know you want to keep it clean but I think will look great covered in coralline algae

As a fellow Star Wars fan, I can appreciate the idea -- my friends and I stood in line to see the original in 1977 at least 13 times that first summer (back when going to a theater was the only option).
*for my tank I lean more towards natural ocean-looking but I applaud your approach

Here's an old picture of my urchin carrying some "Yoda ears" that my kids bought me:
*you could go for a Darth Vader helmet or something to fit your motif

I have mushrooms on a Vader helmet. Vader is in the Last of Us .

Pretty awesome. Great way to make an isolation tank interesting. I actually prefer the original rustic version as something I could sneak into my display and see if anyone notices.
 
Since I can honestly remeber. Born in 85 but grew up watching the original trilogy on Beta Max tapes we copied from the local video store. Always been interested in the ships especially the capital ships like executor SSD and Home One. But all time Fav is the B-wing
