Pretty excited I am just finishing up my diy plywood aquarium build!!!!Can't wait to get water in it and get the filter cycled. Got a 9 inch Datnoid and a jack Dempsey that are going to love there new super sized home.planning on some silver aros, and some pbass, maybe some nice shuvel cats. Looking for a nice large drift wood for the center piece. Probably going with white sand. Nothings final tho. Sorry pictures are kinda backwards lol I just put the first piece of glass in large front panel. Already 24 hour cure on it. Just had to share this with people who enjoy and love this stuff as much as I do20160206_093006.jpg 20160206_112347.jpg 20160206_093006.jpg 20160206_112347.jpg 20160206_093006.jpg 20160206_112347.jpg 20160206_093006.jpg 20160206_093006.jpg 20160206_112347.jpg

Not sure why it doubled up my pictures like that but enjoy people. I'll update once I have the 2 side panels in and I start the plumming for it
 
If anyone knows how to edit your post please help me edit this so I can only have 1 picture of each holy shmolys. Annoying to even look at my own post only uploaded them once and yet they showed up 3 times in some of them why??? Administrators please help me edit thanks.
 
good build, following! Plan to build my own soon
 
Thanks SePPii, I'm really excited got my second piece of glass in the side put in about 5 minutes ago. Worked out all the bubbles and letting cure for 24 hours before moving to the opposite side

Took the picture through the front panel so you can see how the progress is coming. Just started cutting extra silicone from the front panel on the sides in the picture. You can see what it all looked like at the bottom front before it's cut and razorbladed off.
 
Started this project last may and the progress has been slow and picky but she's coming along and is almost there. Just put $200 into union fittings, ball valves, and various bulkheads for the plumbing. Using black pvc for the drainage pipes inside the tank so they blend into the background. Using clear pvc from home depots website for the spray bars one bother ends. This will allow the tank to circulate to the overflow pipes. I'll post picture later of me building the plumming system. With specs and sizes ect.
 
Glad it didn't double that picture this time wish I could delete some of them. Still confused why that happened sorry about that guys.
 
2× 1.5" drains evenly spaced from the center about 1 foot apart. 2× 1" inlets split evenly from the sides about 5 inches from the corners. Black pvc for the drain and clear pvc for the sprayers so everything blends into the background black.
