4300 Gallon Plywood Build (3600+ Take 2)

[Muni]

The inside and top of the tank is curtained off with plastic drop cloth. I'm about to start painting the room with the Barn & Fence paint.

Awesome. I bet being able to see through the plexi and painting everything is gonna make it look totally different. More complete. Its a huge visual step anyways.

Well, no painting tonight. Helps if I look at the color and get the white instead of red!

Opps. That sucks. Set backs are a pain in the butt. But a minor one at least.

Pete, I love the heating idea you have come up with. You talked about it several times through the thread but I never really could wrap my head around what you were doing until this last mention of it. How many feet of pex will be in contact with the tank water? Seems like it would have to be pretty substantial to heat that amount of water.....

The coil will most likely be 100-120', but I haven't worked it through yet.

Pete, I knew you were going to pull that paper after we installed the rubber seal LOL.

That rubber seal is so nice that I don't think I'm going to put the boards over the back as I first intended. Just going to overlap it all the way on to the acrylic with the Pond Coat. With the seal around the acrylic the way it is, it isn't going to move.

Exchanged the paint and about to get after that room.
