The first few pics show the base complete then the rest show where I stopped because of the rain. I'm still fitting the first layer and have made template pieces, so the subsequent layers go very quick. If I had someone cutting pieces while I was gluing and screwing, it would go very fast now. I stopped to salvage wood from the first front section, but soon tired of unscrewing that stuff, breaking the adhesive bond, and cleaning it up. I should be able to get most of the first layer cutting done tomorrow if the rain doesn't stop me.

Pete is that the Bottom?

 

[Nolapete]

Well, the bottom will tie into the tabs sticking out and will be raised 4.5" + whatever plywood I use from the concrete floor. I can't put the bottom in until the acrylic is in place. It's kinda in the way and weighs about 500 lbs, so I can't lift it by myself.

 

[Nolapete]

Oh, and I estimate the new capacity to be around 4300 gallons.

 

[Arkangel77]

Yes, I understand that. I guess I Should have asked if that's the frame for the bottom of the tank. BTW_ Gratz on the New SIZE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:clap:
