Well the Black Jack products won't stand up to hydrostatic pressure so they are out of the question. I can't wait to see your tank stocked up bro. Let me know when you are ready to move it in the house so I can come help.

Well now we know, thanks aprillarider and wheatgerm great build! (Again lol)

it is a bummer. it would have been nice to seal a tank for 30 bucks. but if you think about it the liquid rubber isn't all that expensive either 5 gallons for about 200 bucks and you will only use about 3 gallons of it unless your doin like a 1000 gallon tank

the tank is going in monday and probably some of tuesday and will get plumbed. ill run it for about 2 weeks and try to get sand and some cheap fish to get it going before the real stock goes in. i can't believe i haven't noticed before but i walked downstairs today and realized there is a perfect cubby in my basement living room its 94 wide and about 5 feet deep ill be putting the tank in there so i won't have to worry about the floor because its cement. once i go to finish the tank ill just make a fake wall making the tank look built into the wall. i will post pics after i get the tank in monday to better explain myself

here ya go, i never would have gotten it if my uncle hadnt been in the buisness and gave me a sweet hook up haha. it would have cost as much as my whole build this far
