304.761 US gallons acording to the Calculator I got. subtract a couple gallons gfor the resin and fibre and such and 300 Gallons sounds perfect to me. imho looks good man keep up the progress your brave using OSB but god hates a coward. watching now cause I plan on doing one soon. but have not yet gotten the nerve to start.

i'm out of town till monday so work will progress then
but, awesome news. my mom didn't have confidence in this thing turning out but now she's really impressed. i got her an 85 reef to get her into fish, then got her fish that will need more room soon so next project is to cut the front and back out of her tank, which is acrylic and build her an 11' tank with 2x2 ends. sneaky sneaky
