This is actually my first post although i have been following this site for some time now.
I am posting because you could have a danger issue.
I notice you have a door that opens into the tank.
I would suggest you get this door reversed so that that know does not put a hole into the glass.
Other wise it looks great. I wish i had enough skill to do that in two days.

Hmmm.. I hope what you were warning against didn't happen and he hasn't come back on because of it. :eek:

a few small updates and some pics..
ok, here are a couple of shot of the trim im going to be using its two different pieces, you can see how i am going to put it up in the other pic, also here is a shot of my silicon gasket after i scraped all the excess off, still looks a little ruff in the pic but its all cleaned up and good to go now..
As far as getting the floor braced, i am going to be getting the crawlspace under the house spayed first thing next week cause me and crawly things and confined spaces dont mix, and then as soon as it airs out a bit it shouldnt take me just a couple of hours to have that all buttoned up.. i will post pics of trim when its done, and the floor bracing!

got the trim on its drying now i used wood glue to attach it since i cant nail it up, i did tack some small nail in it to hold it up while it drys.. very carful not to tack them to much lol..

Yep Need updates...

The only thing i was wondering, was the trim.. You added a piece to the
to the trim to cover the plywood, just wondering if you left a hair of room away from the glass for compression of the silicone when the tank is full ?
