600 gallon acrylic tear down and rebuild or roll the dice?

Temporary bracing in place. (That was fun) I should be able to make real progress this weekend

Got sidetracked helping a family member Saturday so didn't make as much progress as I would have liked this weekend but I did get the steel beam up. That was by far the most difficult phase of this whole project. A couple wood beams to add to case in the steel and I am ready to move the tank in. Fingers crossed next weekend I will be bringing it in!!! Sooooo close now!!!!

So much for having a relaxing Labor day weekend . Moving walls/electric/plumbing always turns out to be work then you thought it was going to be but it is all worth it in the end!!! I will be building a partial stand tomorrow and bringing the tank in!! I was hoping for this weekend but it is not looking like that is a possibility but by next weekend for sure it will be up and running!!!!

On top of running into a few complications structurally I also had to go out of town for a few days for work but I am back on track now. I was really hoping to get the tank on the stand today but I am beat! With a bit of luck I will be bringing it in tomorrow after work and getting it placed on the stand.

Additional bracing will be added as well as boxing the whole thing in after I get it all set up with the sumps. Dont want to limit myself until I know how everything will work out

Lets go!!
