rED O Posted May 6, 2009 Author Report Share Posted May 6, 2009 We added nailers ( 1.5''x1.5'' fir ) to add tons and tons of strength. Also we will not be drilling into the plywood making the over all design stronger level tank more pictures the nailers back conner going up nailers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rED O Posted May 6, 2009 Author Report Share Posted May 6, 2009 more pictures there are a few small things we have to still do, but thats almost it. The glass gets here in 10 days so we have some touch up work and doing the plumbing for the sump. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rED O Posted May 6, 2009 Author Report Share Posted May 6, 2009 thanks guys I am told... that the glass will be here may 15th. we are lining it with polyurea lining. Not only is that a great idea its like lining it with silicone so there will not be any leaks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
