It says the rubber coating needs to be top coated with a special acrylic coating for water immersion. Is that part of the plan too?

Thanks! I'm so excited about it. It's all coming together. Ken will be over to help starting next week, so I think I'll be ready to set the acrylic, finish the floor, and prep for coating about a week after that. Shooting for test fill on November 15th.

That's GREAT!! I hope all goes well. I'll be looking foward to seeing it with water! Best of luck!!!

You read it wrong. It says it WAS coated not that it needs to be. The university wanted the tank to be light colored instead of the brown/black of the liquid rubber.

LOL, it's 4300 gallons. If I start on the 15th, it'll probably be finished filling on the the 16th.

Lol, no man, I want to fill it slowly and inspect it as it fills. Going to fill a foot at a time and let it set for an hour between.
