Thanks for the plug about my shop. It used to be a 80 year old 14x24 carriage house with a dirt floor. I jacked it up, replaced all the studs and installed the floor. Built new doors, etc. Still a work in progress but I'm pretty proud of it.
Water! We got the tank into the driveway. Filled it up halfway. Tested all the plumbing and so far so good. I'll going to leave it sit overnight and fill it the rest of the way in the morning. On Sunday provided nothing goes wrong it's coming into the house.
amazing build.. and actually pretty much what I want.. as mentioned before.. if you have the time to get out an email with a bit more information and the sorts would be very cool. Kind'a in a cast right now ~ so the build has been placed on hold...
absolutely love the trim on black.. really draws you in.
(...so gonna copy that, lol)

It's been almost 24 hours and still no leaks. A couple of hours ago I filled the tank the rest of the way and the glass is bowing about 1/16". No worries. I did tweak the spray bar a little adding more holes to improve flow but other than that everything is working as extepcted. I'm going to leave everything sit overnight and hopefully drain the tank and bring it into the house tomorrow.
Just goes to show that you can build an awesome looking tank, such as this one, for the same price or less than you could go out and buy one.
Love the stain, goes along very nicely with the trim and is very appealing. Similar to what I wanna do when I get my own place.

LOL, I don't know about cheaper. Believe me. Maybe as compared to a custom tank. But if you factor even a fraction of the hours I worked on this plus the material I'd have to sell it for about 6k.
