Oh bass, you know you'd get a kick out of telling those people where to go! I'm kinda care free so if anyone objects to the pace of this thread......too bad! I don't see anyone else helping me in any major way. I use this as a psycological boost to my build. You guys cheer me on, and that helps me to get out to the garage and build more. Anyone who is gonna do a tank this size needs to know that if you are doing it all by yourself that it could take a very long time. With limited resources, limited time frame, ect big tank builds will take months/years. Faster way would have been to break down and just do a concrete build with cinderblocks, ect. I'm not as comfortable doing that as I'd like to move one day, and this tank if need be could be sawed up, pulled out and put on a flatbed ect. Concrete=sledgehammer, and refinishing the floor. This is not gonna be my permanent residence as I'm 27yo. I will definitely move sooner or later. This is more of a test to see what I can do. When I move eventually I will build a bigger, better tank! Everyone who has supported this build thank you. I have plans for a second smaller growout tank. There's your answer to finding a new thread. Might be a year after completion of this one though. I will continue to post up periodically in this thread about upgrades, fish entering it, ect.
