Anyone ever have a fish tank in there bed room before? Just because the bed is directly above doesn't mean its going to mold. I don't understand? I use to have tanks completely around my bed, no mold. Odd? Maybe the mold is smarter these days? Or......
I wish I could do a window but in a time crunch as well as not having the money for it lol. I'm off the mold issue. It's nothing to argue about so let's just drop it. I don't intend the mattress to ever come in contact with water unless I spill it on the mattress. I've been sleeping on the mattress on the floor for 2 years. I'm at least gonna test this out and if it doesn't seem to work I will go back to the tried and true of matress in the floor next to the pond lol.
It's a good idea. I am going to look at some kind of fasteners this weekend. As for the rubber I'm hoping that the pond liner on the lid and on the walls will create a sort of gasket. I'll get to that when the time comes.
strange huh? lol, I've keep a garage with nearly 3000 gals of open topped tanks in it with absolutely no mold or mildew conditions.
This I can see as a concern. I guess time will tell
as stated above if all else fails I will be back in the floor on the mattress lol. I respect your decision to stay out. Thanks for the luck.
should be ready to fit the liner tomorrow if it makes it here by then. Was thinking of putting down the contact cement then putting in the liner and filling it with warm water to press it to the walls. I don't think the lid will flex at all when I'm laying on it because it has 4 studs it will be laying on, plus the center portion will be screwed down to the side rails from above, and where the side wall comes up on the side of the lid as well. So actually when the water pressure pushes out on the walls it should make the lid more stable to downward pressure. Let me know what you guys think. Even without the top or top rails yet the walls barely budge with what you see so far. Couple of pics of my newest fish that will be in the pond!!!!
Vigilant projects like these always intrigue me. Can't wait to see more progress!
after not being able to complete my 4000 gal aquarium after my divorce this project is taken on with much gusto!!! Hopefully it will spur some other people to think (inside) the box lol.
