Going through a leak test atm of my roughly 360 gallon plywood back and bottom aquarium. Used bondo resin and many layers of pond shield. 1/2" tempered glass and eurobracing along with 1.5" lumber at the top front of the glass tied into the back plywood. Black RTV Silicon used everywhere..at least 10 tubes.
Purchased a MP40 tonight as the water has been stagnant most of the week...no sign of leaks yet. Used Semco to water proof under the tank stand where the sump will go...thinking of using Custom Aquariums Seamless sump as it is modular...but undecided atm. Was a little nervous working in the stand as 3000lbs of water was above me and well...I thought dying that way would make me a Darwin award winner...but it's made out of 2x6s King DIY way...so I guess I did ok, soo far.
Will be a FOWLR to start with soft corals later on. Expensive hobby. :/
