Well done! lookin good man… excited to see it finishedGot the 4 boards at the bottom done. I’ll be adding 1.5” foam between the 2x4 and then a layer of 1/2” foam over everything. Overkill but can’t be too safe plus will help with insulation.
pond liner is here and it’s massive. Certainly going to be difficult to move around and install.
For the top bracing i’m thinking of going with trex braces 2-3 across the top evenly. I’m eventually going to do the complete rim in trex and i can splice around these and make them look perfect.
think trext is strong enough for a center brace or would you recommend something else?

Yeah i actually came across this thread.Opinion on the composite boards (trex)… pick one up at the store… there like noodles lol… strong enough to stop the bowing yes… im not sure itell make the 8’ span without sagging tho. Def. A Nice addition to cap everything off with. 1 2x4 underneath will b plenty to lay down first as ur braces and hold the trex up without sagging.
Best way to ruin a liner tank i agree lol… had a 20”+ distichodus eat through pretty quick also.At this point my one piece of advice, from my own experience, don’t keep Pacu.
