SourceAquatics Posted May 24, 2010 Report Share Posted May 24, 2010 I would think general maintenance would be an issue. i use to have an 8 foot tank that I swapped out for 2 X 4 footers. I find that maintaining a clean and healthy tank on a 2 X 90 gallons is much easier than one large tank. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Evolution Posted June 17, 2010 Report Share Posted June 17, 2010 The bigger the tank the easier maintenance. I would put a couple of pro 3s on it and get a good 3 inch layer of sand and it will be crystal clear for 10-15 years with just bi-weekly 25-50% water canges. It's beautiful, really awesome job! How did you line and seal the inside? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rED O Posted June 22, 2010 Author Report Share Posted June 22, 2010 Thanks guys! I sealed the tank with a polyurea spray liner. If your interested in it, I can tell you who did it for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CatWhat Posted March 4, 2013 Report Share Posted March 4, 2013 (edited) Did you apply the water proofing to the surface of the plywood that would be touching the glass or did you just use silicone the glass to the bare plywood? I have seen on other forums people applying the water proofing to the plywood were it contacts the glass and silicone the glass in place. But it seems it can be a struggle finding water proofing that will allow the silicone to adhere to it. If you got away with out doing so that would be great for my plans, as it will cost me a fortune to get in the water proofing that will allow silicone adhering versus using the local stuff that does not allow great adhesion with silicone.
