75 gallon plywood tank and stand

[truck_317]

So I am building a 76 gallon plywood tank for my cichlids. I went down to my buddy's place to start it today. The stand will have a 20 gallon long tank under neath is for by breeding pairs of plecos The inside tank Dimensions are 40 Long 20 Deep 22 high. I got all of the plywood cut, glued and screwed together. I also the the plywood cut out for the glass and I mounted pieces of plywood in the tank as a lip to put a glass over top the tank. Over the next few days I will be putting drylok in the tank to seal it I will be using 3 coats. When I am painting the inside of the tank I will also be painting the outside of the tank with a gray textured paint. I'm looking that the tank should be done next weekend and I will be starting the Stand and canopy after the 14 of Feb.

I just got done painting the inside of the tank with drylok tonite. I got 2 coats on it. also i contacted a tech from the drylok company and he looked at there msds and lowes msds sheets that there dye is save to use in fish tanks. So I got this baby blue dye added to it and it looks pretty sweet. I will have pictures posted sometime tomorrow. I also got the outside of the tank painted with that gray textured stone look
