Did you use angle clips? Or did you just toenail in screws?

The whole setup turned out great. Fantastic job.

Toenailed the screws. No clips anywhere. I've thought about it but its not really needed.

The whole setup turned out great. Fantastic job.

Thanks. I'm still planning on upgrading the filtrartion with a big DIY caister system but between vacation, the house, kids and restoring my boat the cash flow has been limited.

Just curious haw the tank is holding up. I am still trying to decide on what to coat with. Are you still happy with the Sweetwater paint?

 

[Gator]

Holding up fine, no leaks and its coming up on 2 years with water. Very satisfied with the Sweetwater Epoxy.

Hey Gator. Are you using a spraybar for your return or some other way?

UGJ and 2 jets above the water line.

Hey Gator how long in between coats did wait before re coating? Was it dry or still a little tacky?

Truly impressive! I have often thought of building a monster tank with plywood and was never certain how to go with it! Your post is well laid our and easy to understand.

You had mentioned something about not using bathroom silicone. Why is that? Does it cause an adverse affect on the fish?

Also with North American fish are you still not using a heater(s) and how is that working out?
