Diy tank

[lobsterboy]

haha, yes she goin to be a beauty when shes finsihed.
I siliconed the two pieces of glass as, thats all i had after cracking a piece.
and it was a bit thinner than the rest of the glass so i doubled it up.
not sure if this was the smartest move.

So heres some updates, i havent tired filling it with water, but i might try it in the bath tub, LOL. havin a time.

all done, hehehe.
its not quite how i envisioned it in my head, LOL.

[lobsterboy]

well its not done, i still have to cut off the excess sillycon. and decide, what kinda pump etc, i want to do.
the tank is something like 6.5-7 gallons.

there is a bare cornor of the tank, thats where i want to put a phos reactor

hahah i love it, im laughing my butt off at home, when in doubt add more silicone, i thought this tank was much bigger in your other pictures, i would let it hold water for a while, oh and does that one section of the tank at the back just not going to be filled with water??

[Boomboy]

i wonder if doubling up glass increases its strength??

I think when I build a tank, I'll have the glass cut for me

filler up already bye... lets see if she's tight as dory!!!

[lobsterboy]

so the water will go into the overflow and then be pumped out the same way via power head..

and today i filled it with about an inch of water and shes all good soo far.

next week i will try to fill it all the way, i dont have any days off coming up so i dont want her to blow will i am out at work.

and heres my stocking list.

3 morish idols
4-5 tangs,
and maybe some kind of puffer or moray.

i am joking BTW.
