Are you going to waterproof the outside sorry for so many questions

Nah, I'm going to just sand and stain. So yeah, I guess it will be sealed. Water proofed, not sure.

Are you building an overflow? What's the size of tthe viewing window

Sent from my LS670 using MonsterAquariaNetwork App
Viewing panel is 88x22. Glass is 3/8 tempered, 90x24. I haven't really gotten to the plumbing yet, hence the lack of picks. Still quite a bit of planning to do for plumbing, needs to be both modular and expandable. I don't have carpentry or plumbing skills, so I'm just doing as much research as I can and going from there. When I do build another one, it'll definitely cost less and be done faster. If I'd known what to expect, I'd saved up more money and bought all of the materials at once, minus the glass. That was hard to get for me.

How are you going to get your glass pane in, Appears your top is fastened down and your fully built out..?? This is what I'm dealing with now on my build.. If I put the top on, I don't think I will be able to get my 81"x22'' glass inside to install..:confused:
