is red gard the same thing as liquid rubber?

Not sure but it is labeled as waterproofing and crack prevention membrane. It seems very similar to liquid rubber, but I have never used liquid rubber so I don't really know

Dude, you're luck. Everything here in Hawaii is costing me nearly triple what you are paying. My plywood itself cost me 240.00. Laminating resin cost me 70.00 a gal. Fiberglass mats cost me about 26.00 a pack. It goes on and on. By the time I'm done, I'll be about 1000.00 in. Still though, cheaper than what most people spend on a 430 gal aquarium.

Yeah i've been to Hawaii many times and the prices on everything there are crazy! It's because everything has to be imported from so far away. But I've been following your build and thus far it's been awesome! I can't wait to see the end result
