The plastic back. The reason why i plasticed the back is because of many reasons. first being 2 summers ago i insulatedand plasticed a garage, mind you this is a garage about 100 yards from the house. During the winter this garage would get way to warm in the garage, when it was -15 and windy outside.
the next being if water spills and some how it gets past the wood shell it wouldnt mold and rot.
This little 6inch lag bolt is the root of all evil. This little lag bolt has caused me more pain then anything else on this tank. I didnt lag the bottom of the tank because when i put together the tank i lagged the top and noticed it was like 11 so i said it could wait till tomarrow. i completely forgot and i insulated AND plasticed the tank and i noticed that i forgot the lags on the bottom. so i had to rip off all the plastic to lag it. so tomarrow ill do the electric.
i used roughly 1500 to 2000 staples on the tank in the course of all the insulation plastic number 1 and number 2
i used this to pull out about 1000 staples. I would love to throw these off into oblivion.
Just got done wiring the outlets and such. going to see paranormal activity, pictures will be put up after.
im hopeing 8 outlets will be enough.
i just noticed the tank is roughly 900gallons And my OHF is roughly 60 gallons. I just noticed it when i was talking to friend who just got "like the largest tank youve ever seen". It is 55 gallons. That is smaller then a water change. *note* i did not spoil his fun because 55 is a pretty large tank. My current largest tank is a 55. though so far this tank has cost me less ten my used 55 did

I have a few quetions.
Can Plecos scratch acrylic?
Anyone know of a cheaper water proof paint? ive been looking around the only other thing ive came up with is Liquid rubber. This is for the outside of my ohf witch wont be seen and a few other unseen places. it wont be submerged ever.

Im now looking at how to plumb a cold water in for water changes. There is lots of hard pipe around. Nearest copper pipe is far. so this will be cause for some thinking.
