Are you going to build a stand for it or keep it 'pond' style? Looks amazing!

thinking of a stand similar to this one
Fish Story Aquarium and Rescue, Naples, FL; two 4500 gal 13'x13'x4.5'
My first attempt at making videos. Need more and different lighting but for now these poor videos. ***************************************** Tank 1: *****************************************

Manzanita arrived
You can also see one of the new outlets that was installed. The room now has two dedicated 20A circuits allowing me to also run a dehumidifier

Polishing is on pause until the royal moves out. I'm fighting a losing battle otherwise.
Don't put panaques in acrylic tanks y'all.
Delhezi was checking me out while I was checking him out

First coat of epoxy on the 600 complete. Going to keep applying until I run out. Should take about 3 coats. Got 1.5 gallons

So far it's been very easy to work with. Easy to roll with a foam roller. One minor issue I didn't anticipate is that this epoxy is less viscous than most and so runs easier on the walls. I've been having to go over random bubble spots occasionally. I don't anticipate this being a problem over multiple coats, but figured I'd call it out. This could also be used error in laying it on too thick, causing it to run more than it should.
Is my first time, yay learning!
You can actually see at the bottom of the second picture where it started to pool a bit. After this picture I rolled that puddle out along the bottom and walls until it was gone. Again, not hard to work with at all, just probably don't use too much like I may have definitely did
I can at least confidently say I like it way better in black haha

5 coats down and I have 3/4 gal left. I was way off on it only taking 3 coats 
Looks about 3mil thick so far. Going on way easier and more uniform now too. Can't wait to get the fish in it!

Custom built redwood stand arrived and is gorgeous! The team did a great job on it! We probably could've picked a better day though. We had to carry it in with temps hovering around 0. But we did it and I could not be happier.
For the structurally curious, it's built entirely with 2x6 and studs 12" on center.
