My 650g plywood tank also Wetsuit

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
any updates?

Well the update is that the tank has been up and running for many months now. I still have a little issue with the sump that has the algae scrubber in it but the tank is doing great.

Here's some shots from inside the tank.

It's a little difficult to tell but the GATF in the pics has grown an inch from one pic to the other. The first pic is most recent.
 
I just noticed in your pics did you use OSB board on the bottom of the tank?

Yup, since I had to piece together two pieces of plywood I wanted to use the tongue and groove osb. I fiberglassed it so it's stiffer but it still flexes a little. Even with bracing spaced 18" apart when I step on it I can feel it flex. There's no issue with leaks because the entire tank is glassed and Wetsuited but if I was to do it again I'd think about using regular plywood.
 
Okay i must have missed that reading through the entire thread. Great build! Any new pics.
