Building a 1500 Gallon plywood & glass tank

starfire? awesome!!! can't wait to see it in the window.
hey, as long as it doesn't leak, i don't think the fish will mind too much.

Wow, the spouse actually talked you into spending more money on the tank Was she high or something?

 

[basslover34]

Yeah... Spouses usually don't talk you into MORE money... you got a winner!

Pond Armor is beating me up.. 2x the product to cover this thing but it's all my fault I just am not good at working with this stuff at all. Good thing is it's so thick I doubt I will have any leaks.. lol

I orderd the glass 5 mins ago.. Will be here in 7-10 days.

I spent the extra money and got starfire.. was almost twice the cost but the wife convinced me that going cheap on the window would be silly seeing how much time & money I have already put into this. And no one likes green glass.

So, she talked me into low-iron glass... lol Sweet..

I will post some pictures tonight of what I have done and you can see the hideous job I did on the pond armor.

I am sure she twisted your arm

Lol, yeah she's alright.. One of the benefits of both of us working and earning about the same.. Everything is 50/50 which is nice...

Ok pictures..

Seams all taped up and ready for pond armor..

After 1 quart this is all the coverage I got. Should have been able to do the entire back wall with one.

After installing the lights

Pond armor shot:

Another shot of the lights.. (T8 shop lights)

One of the two 3" bulkheads installed:

The electrical outlet I need to flip up and reverse to bring it out from under the tank so I can use it.

Wow that's a lot of Armor.. Looks like fun.. lol.. It's always a good accomplishing feeling after water proofing..

Keep up the work man.!!

More power to you bro. I don't think I'd have to patience to apply pond armor to my tank. Figured out today how to fold the liner so none of the extra is inside the water column.

OMG! that is so cool I have almost the same exact space in my house also but it has a window on the back side, I so want to do that also. whats the material cost so far. For sure I'm gonna be hitting u up the the blueprint lol
