My new 2600 gallon plywood tank project
- Thread starter VLDesign
- Start date
Me either.. 
One thing I would change if I could is instead of regular 1/2" plywood on the walls (On top of the 3/4") I should have used 'A' grade plywood or OSB.
The pond armor process would be that much better with a nice clean smooth surface.
Final coat of pond armor tonight and if all goes well final pond armor touchups Friday and windows in Saturday. (Crossing fingers)

WINDOWS ARE IN!
Completed the top braces, then installed the windows.
Will be tricky to continue with all the window braces, but I have 3 weeks until the fill test so I will be working on the other parts of the build while I wait.
What is left?
Upper walls need to be built. These will support the Drywall on the finished side. And fiberglass panels on the tank side which will be used to contain the jumpers and the moisture because I am not going to have covers over the tank this time. When I get to that stage it will be more clear what I am doing.
Plumbing needs to be done after that.
Install the lighting (Still deciding on that) It's a tossup between spot lights and suspended fluorescent fixtures.
Water proof & Install the inner sump wall.
Here are the pictures from today's progress.

Your house is going to tip over! I'm seriously doing this when I get my own place. Maybe not quite as large though haha. Truly an epic build! I'm hooked!
LOL I can see the exhaust fan in the window, I bet it stinks in there!
So your going with a sump instead of the Ultima sand/bead type fillter or both? Is the sump going to be on the left side there with all the intake/return holes?
Again, great progress!
