That is going to be awesome when it's done!
 
Discovered a huge measurement problem on the 2x4 frame. I calculated the 2 side 2x4s at 1.5" each and ADDED 3" to the length like they were going to be on the sides and cut them to where they would be in between the two long boards. Fortunately, I am only fitting everything right now and was able to catch it before I started gluing and screwing everything down. Easy fix with the long boards 3" too long. Two cuts to make and then all is well. I'm going to use this to my advantage and adjust it to fit my vertical boards snug. All works out.
 
I have both homeowners and flood, but it would be homeowners that would cover an aquarium catastrophe not flood. Flood only covers natural waters rising on the outside of your house as we saw here after Katrina. Water that comes through the roof or other source such as a broken pipe or busted aquarium isn't covered by flood insurance.
 
Cost breakdown estimate

lumber 750-800 including first attempt
screws 220
liquid nails 80
dow 795 190
acrylic 1566.38 (was 1674.63, but got 108.25 credit for them sending wrong size)

About $2800 so far.

Still have to buy liquid rubber @ $892.

$3692 total, so about 85 cents a gallon
