My new 2600 gallon plywood tank project

[Ramesh]

GL with your window reseal VL, I really hope it works out for you this time.
I am considering using large sheets of water proof cement board attached to plywood and then selaed with pond armor.
This I hope should help create a strong leak proof tank.
I was thinking of 15-20mm ply and 6-9mm cement broad.

Best of luck to you! Your 1500 gallon tank was an inspiration and this tank is truly awe inspiring. Really do hope that it works out...can't wait to see this beast with livestock!!!!

I couldn't say it better and I couldn't agree more. Good luck!

MFK has been down it seems like forever....know it really wasn't that long but anyways it really made your leak battle a true cliffhanger. Hows it going!? *fingers crossed*

What was the pond armor issue from the middle of this thread ? it was out of date and pa would not answer email then later they did. I was wondering if they were going out of business or if this was just a distribution issue.

 

[VLDesign]

Never got an answer as to why there was no reply during that time. But Butch has been responding like normal ever since so I suspect he was on vacation?

And yeah several batches of PA from 2 different locations near me were well past the shelf life and not useable. Does appear to be a distro issue as butch can't controll how long suppliers keep stock on hand.

8 more days until I can do a leak test.

So are you planning on leaving it blue now or waiting for some more of the black stuff?

 

[VLDesign]

No leaving it blue. I have a 3D background that is going in and will cover all the blue anyways.

Using the same 3D background I used in my 300 gallon tank.

Comeon.... why does time pass so slow on the things we want.... VL... turn the hands on the clock ahead around a week.... that will work won't it??? LOL

well VL the talk is looking great. I haven't posted on your thread as each time I got on here I never made it all the way to the end. I sure hope for your sake that the windows where the issue. I know how frusterating it can be to get into a build and then have major issues. I have a 350 that I built (i think i had a thread on here but I don't think I got far before I lost my internet and quit posting) I used some recycled glass for my viewing window and after i got it filled I found a nick in the glass and decided to put new glass in. well the tank is in the dump now as I broke it trying to get the glass out. extremely frusterating!!!! I know that you will get this beauty finished and sealed up soon. and hopefully once the window sealant is cured it will be a breeze to finish
