Thanks everyone for your replys. I only got to add another row to the tank, and I took in some scrap metal and I have another $50 to spend on the tank. That will go to plywood more than likely. Tomorrow I have training all day so no progress yet again, but I get to find out if I get next week off so that I can make some more real progress like the past couple of days. I think I need a day off from the build anyway. My arms are killing me. :eek:

I might have missed it, in fact I am sure that I did, but what are the sizes of the windows and how thick is the glass going to be?
biggest windows will be 2'x4', smallest 2'x2', glass will be 1" thick acrylic. The viewing area will be 21" x 45" and 21" x 21". Hope that helps. I need to do a lot more scrap metaling to get this thing done lol. That or do some more skeletons for money. Here's the progress on the skeleton I am working on for a member on here. I know it's off topic, but it's helping fund this tank so it's worth mention here. All proceeds from sales of my skeletons and skulls will go into this tank. I think it makes my wife mad that I can build this without touching our money lol.

when you think 18ft you think yeah its big but when you see pic's like that you get the idea of how big it actually is, looking fantastic. i know it's for cat's but a couple of ray's would look great in there:D
If someone is willing to give, or sell me a ray really cheap for it, then I'll put one in there. Most of the rays I've seen are way out of my price rang. Thanks for the compliments. I kinda just stare at it for a few mins every time I walk into the garage and wonder what it will look like full of fish. Day dreaming I guess lol.
