520 gallon plywood tank

I'll share just so someone else doesn't make this mistake. These are rated at 500lbs each. But I've had them a while. Don't trust old plastic sawhorses :/. And if that tank even weighs 500, I'm stronger than I thought because I can move it pretty easily for it's size.

Got the new piece of glass installed. Much better this time haha. How long do y'all wait u too you set the tank upright again. My plan was 2-3 days from now.

You could put it upright 24 hours later but if the build is done may as well wait a week for the silicone to fully cure. Great build

Thank you. Yeah all I have to do is install the lid and test that it holds water. The lid has been dry fitted several times so should be an easy process there.

I'm making 2-3 canister filters with 5 gallon buckets. All with 1000 gph pumps

Well, so far so good. Is it hot in here? I'm sweating.
