4300 Gallon Plywood Build (3600+ Take 2)

I have some other stuff I want to finish before next set of pics, so that there's notable progress.

I couldn't think of a better name for it, but wave guard sounded about right. It's just a 2x3 board around the entire inside top of the tank to help keep water from lapping over on to the top of the tank walls.

I hate to be all non technical, but instead of installing a Anti-hydrolic energy barrier or Random Fluidic Event Destablilizer, could you not have just called it a 4250 gallon tank and filled it 3" from the top?

Check your math. That would be a 4128 gallon

Oh, clearly Thats entirely too much water to lose! And that would be 172 fewer neon tetras you could stock!

Today is the last work day for me for 2009, so I can't wait to get out of here today and get home to start working on finishing up the big tank. It's the downhill run from here with mostly little details to get done in preparation to seal the tank with Pond Coat. It's been nearly 10 months in the making since I first decided to convert the fish room with lots of roadblocks along the way. I actually see completion in sight! I promise progress pictures Christmas day.

I hope you all have a wonderful holiday no matter how you celebrate it or if you choose not to.

I was looking back at the original thread and found this mock up drawing that is the reality of what the room/tank will look like when done.
