In all honesty I probably won't be taking the entire tank completely apart to reseal it. Really only one factory seam needs to be split, cleaned, polished and re welded. The bracing is all coming out so I can have piece of mind(1.5" of weld instead of just 1" of weld).
And as big as this tank seems, it is only another temporary tank until they require something larger, but in 3 years I will have 16ft x 10ft x 7ft and 10,000g at my disposal, so if this tank will last till then, great, if not I will look for something in the 1500g-2000g range to get me by...
I just can't justify THAT much work on a temporary setup, even tho the to-do list is massive as it is...
Plus when the big guys need a bigger tank, this one will make a beautiful planted discus tank
