Metal monster 3k

Kill me now ladies and germs....One of my best setups just sprung a leak, now its time to panic....Its the super refurbed 450gal I did about 4 years ago with weld-on#16. Its one of the only tanks I haven't done with weld-on #40 only because I was younger and less knowledgeable about working with acrylic. I can't say im really surprised this happened its just not a good time rite now lol...This also confirms all my stipulations and rants of weld on #16 being extremely brittle and not a permenant fix for larger tanks. Too much pressure and the glue just cant hold it. Regardless, now I have to fix it and im not sure what I should do with my prized gators and trop gar. Good news is I have plenty of #40 to fix the tank, bad news is I may have to shoot the epoxy in the house and I really hate doing that with the hanous fumes. Weld-on#40 fumes = very unhappy spouse lol...I cant really afford to take the tank out of my basement again though, no help and that's a month long project in itself.
I guess my biggest question for u guys is what would you do for all my gar lol?
-I can pickup a 300 Rubbermaid
-toss em in the 1700 pool and pray they don't jump out or get shredded immediately by the TSN
- put them in a 650 making it crowded
- or a 4'x8'x2' liner build just for temp.

Decisions....decisions...sigh.....haha, really didn't want another project to inhibit my other but im trapped in a corner at this point. Over and out MFK, im going to be busy for a hhhwhile, I care for my gar far more than most all the pool inhabitants just don't want to risk their lives in a community situation with hanously large catfish and a giant turtle lol....

You have so many big tanks you should post a video of you just showing all your tanks and fish! You are very inspirational!

Into the 650g and just keep up on extra wc's.
That's the easiest solution and they wont feel too cramped n a 300g Rubbermaid.
This saves you money and time. Allowing you to fix your 450g in a timely fashion.
 
All I can say is freaking amazing. I ESP love the 500 round ended tank. Just gorgeous. And this is by far the best build thread I have found and so glad I did.
I though I had a lot w 7 at once but I'm down to only 3 2 125s and a 55 all fresh 😞

Your work makes me wanna jump start my brothers yard pond and even though I live in Illinois is be very interested in you building a special tank for my fathers basement down the road


Btw what is a tsn?
Keep up the good work and I hope your build goes great
