*claps* Bravo! I really love how the tank is not the only thing to look at, but the stand and trim are pieces of art themselves! This tank is amazing, I could only imagine what you could do with a bigger one...

The cholla wood will stay buoyant since it is sealed and there is no way for the air to escape.

Thanx. I got a 10' on scratch paper but I need to stay on this one first so I dont get in over my head.

The cactus sank somewhat on the test so I pulled it out of the water. I'll stick it in the garage attic and dry it out. The guys at Polymer Composites said I was supposed to soak it several times in the sealer. I only did it once. Thats what happens when you dont listen to the pros.

Great looking tank and stand.

How many total hours of work do you think you put into the tank and the stand?

What species of fish will you be stocking into the tank?

It's hard to say. I never really kept track. I know that if (when) I do another one it wont take as long.

I know this is Monster Fish but in this case I may be small tropicals. Too early to tell. My qualifying Monsters are in my original tank. I was going to use them in this tank but they're like bulls in a china shop - they'd rearrange everything.

mad props. I just read the whole build. absolutely stunning... especially your stand.
WOW !!!

Thanx very much.

Please build me one of those

Like I said to someone earlier, if I could do this full time I would.
