My new 2600 gallon plywood tank project

[VLDesign]

Once it's sealed the chaces of it developing a leak without help are very small. I will still have visibility to the underside just in case.

WIll be doing anothe leak test tomorrow night. (Crossing fingers) lol

Thats a good thing, I had bad visions as to why you didnt give updates on your test fill.

With all these leaks i would be concerned about long therm? 1 thing is to get it to hold water now, but you will never know when the **** hits the fan again ? or? Did you fiberglass the whole tank inside before starting with the layers? Really looking forward for this to come all together! Insane build!

I think you have to say the same about every tank. I had my Goonch tank up for a year and one morning walked into the fish room and half the water was on the floor. Seal just gave out.

Tank is currently filled to 30" and holding water..

Been sitting for 3 hours without any signs of leaking.

I would fill it up 6" and wait 2 hours, check for leaks then add another 6".

I am going to let it sit over night at 30" and hit that last 6" in the morning if there are still no wet spots.
