If I can make it work I would love to come see this tank and help move the cats. when you know when you want to do it give me some headsup and I will try to swing it
sorry if this has been brought up already, but have you thought of sealing it with thick pond liner. i know youre planning to fiberglass it, right? with the chopper gun? but fiberglassing is such a &*@#%, and expensive, some 75 mil pond liner would be plenty strong enough, cheper, and much easier to work with, not to mention it takes alot more effort for fiberglass to look good compared to the liner. and i'm sure you can get stuff thatlike 120 mil if you just need the piece of mind.
Holy Smokes! I wish I had a basement for projects like this...a bit smaller tho..
Where in Montana are you? I'm in Missoula.

I'm waiting to borrow redtailnob's camera cord again to download some pics. There's going to be more pics of the 210 gal that I'm building, and some of the fish skeletons I've been working on more than there will be pics of the big tank. Didn't get to do anything besides some sanding while refilling the ponds last weekend. Hoping to get some real progress on the 210. I have the glass for it now and it just needs the final coat of epoxy and the glass in place and it'll be finished. I'll plumb it later, but for now it's going to be lightly stocked with just a couple of marineland 400s for filtration, and a 300w titanium heater. I'll be getting the wood for the stand as well. I'll get some pics of the stand I made for redtailnob's 90 gal also.
