crazy tank build coming soon..

[OhNoNemo]

Not too much going on..but you can get a feel for it alittle now...i'm going to box the whole think in plywood then build the frame around it

 

[cageburn]

I cant wait to see hows it pans out! Great work!

 

[OhNoNemo]

Thanks cage,heres some of the bottom....

 

[PRC]

Were you able to seam the tanks together yet? Or are you not at that point? I'm rooting for you, even if your football team sucks.:D

Did I just say that out loud?

hahaha

Update please! :D
does the tank need to be braced where the two halves are being joined?

 

[OhNoNemo]

Yeah,i'm going to run a 2x4's across the top .....It will be a mirror image of the bottom..minus the plywood,that will be the glass tops

 

[d2mini]

What about the inside face of the glass where the seam is? Do you think maybe you should silicone a strip of glass over the seam for added strength?

 

[OhNoNemo]

Yeah,i am going to run silicone around the inside and outside of the seam,along with redoing the whole thing......everything is just loose fit still,nothing is fixed in place yet..

Just a thought nemo, you should use plexiglass to brace the top, if you use wood it's likely that it will rot from the evaporation of the tank

 

[PRC]

If that Knucklehead Nemo can pull this off I'm gonna buy 10 tanks and wrap them around my entire office...

 

[ErinCahir]

PRC, if you pull that off, I'll do the bedroom!

if you try this you should check into flood insurance "750 gals could make a mess":mrgreen:
Good luck nemo wondering how this will turn out!:Cheers:
