Test fill: Saturday.

Here it is...

87x87x36 = 1179g...

Permabas+drylok bottom.
87x36x1/2" glass
GE Silicone I Window and Door

Everything looked fine when we taped it off and it didnt seem like we needed much tape... a few hours later i noticed part of the glass wasnt completely butted up against the other... do you think this is going to cause a problem for me?

I've got a 55g that has some air bubbles between the glass, but not as much as this one.

I still need to frame it all in before filling...

i agree. i not 100% sure or even 20% sure. but better safe the never.

I can't believe you're not going to brace the top at least.

 

[theotheragentm]

Wow. Are you planning to swim with your fishes?

 

[mountain_webste]

Wow, please tell me you're going to start a "build" thread. I'm sure there are a lot of people that would love to follow your progress.

NICE dude....definitely looking forward to the build thread on this one. And, he said he has to frame it in before he fills it...I'm assuming that means top and bottom bracing.

 

[Sploke]

Oh also...is that one piece of Permabase, or did you mortar several together on a plywood base or something?

 

[jmhart]

Stingray tank?

I agree.
