My new 2600 gallon plywood tank project

[VLDesign]

Tank is empty again awaiting the background.

Silicone on the background is a huge pain in the ass so I am going to switch to using great stuff to attach the panels to the back and side walls.

Should be done with this by the weekend.

This is a great build, epic is the word as they say! But still, i would be nervous for many months to come, with the background in and filter up and going, then suddenly a little leak, dang! I hope this was the final fix, i would have jumped off the boat many times ago! You have really had your bumps, and still fighting on, honor to you!! Alot of it! Cant wait to se it up and going! I also ordered those lights you had, hope they will work out great in my near future 1200G..

Good luck, and a very happy x mass

Background is in.
Majority of the plumbing is done.
Need to clean the inside of the windows, add sand (picking up tomorrow or Tuesday) and then I am done.
Final step is to fill and start filters up.

Amazing! your first tank was the one that inspired me to build my own tank. after much planning and research i am about to start it. Then to see this thread even makes me more excited and motivated to get my tank done!!! This tank is going to be an absolute mouth dropper in person!!!
