18' x 9' x 3.5' catfish tank build in progress.....

Haven't had much time to do anything besides go up in trees and chop branches out with a hatchet as there was a ton of them hanging out of the trees from the big ice strom we had a few weeks ago. They were a big danger and kept falling out, and I don't really need to get sued right now so I decided to cut them out while we had some nice weather. Luckily everything should be set to get some real work done to the tank this weekend, except it's supposed to rain again.

I'm just going with fiberglass in the corners with the bluemax over top. No seam tape. My corners are very solid already though. I probably don't even need to do the fiberglass, but will for peace of mind.

The seam tape is from Ames and is recommended for use with Blue Max. I don't think I want to risk using something else.

All the seams will be fiberglassed, so there's no need to strengthen further. Especially with how strong they already are for a 3.5' tall column of water.

[necrocanis]

Not quite a year now. Helping redtailnobs tear down his garage today! It's like 50 years old and in horrible condition. It's down now, and will be working on the tank tomorrow for sure.
