why
didn't you have reddy-mix concrete delivered and a trailer pump pump it? instead of buying all those bags(cost?)having it delivered, huffing all those bags to its destination, renting the 2 mixers, all that labor...
nice job in illustating your whole project. great step-by-step explaination...
i didn't see any info on the stand... at 1st i thought it was on the floor, then in a wide shot i saw the wood legs. how is the tank supported? 12tons of water, 2tons per cu.yard of concrete,
WOW!!!...

We could not get the concrete hose in the basement so we had to do it manually.... what a bugger... but it turned out perfect, I have never had a better tank & now with the addes ayto water changer I only have to clean the glass..... sweet
As far as the wood under the tank... One of the reasons why I bought the house is because in the basement there was a 20ftX3ft tall concrete step but unfortunately it was too shallow for the whole tank to fit so I addes some 4X6 braces & a ledge in front of the step. Basically the tank overhangs off the step so I put those there to help support the front. the funny thing is those do not support anything anymore... thay are actually loose I just leave them their so if we have an earth quake the tank will not end up on its face.
Nice Stingrays
