OK, thanks Albert ill do that today.

How much of the center do I cut out so it can float? Or I guess it would be easier to ask how wide should each side of the foam be after I have cut out the center?

Thanks Albert.

You only need 4"-6" around the perimeter of the tank. Just make sure it's a pretty stiff insulating foam.

Oh yeah, Keith, you might want to put the tank on it's back and paint the bottom of it white prior to actually doing anything with it. If you don't, you're going to end up with that disgusting "refracted ugh" look that a lot of BB tanks have.

No worries. I am getting Starboard for the bottom of the tank.
