Ok next question since i have to put the pipes in the stand before i put the top joists in.. will 2 x 2" loops provide enough flow? One will be for the filtration loop and 1 for a closed loop
900 gallon custom tank material

Only 1 in and 1 out on each loop? Id say most likely, but if you could add more returns it'd be better for flow.
No each supply and return will split 4 ways making a total of 8 bulkheads in and 8 out, but that's just to even out the flow. At the end of the day its really only 2 pumped lines. Im pretty sure itll move enough water i am a plumber by trade but the biggest tank ive ever owned is 90 gallons. So if any experienced shark/big fish owners have any input or things they wish they did with their build i appreciate the input before its too late
Dont know. I react different to different epoxy products sometimes minor sometimes severe sometimes just from the fumes i dont even have to touch it.
I used 1" Birch furniture grade plywood for my tank coated with Pond Armor on the inside. It is an epoxy, but was very easy to work with and apply. I do recommend for the final coat pouring it onto the surface and spreading it with a wide PLASTIC putty scraper to get a nice glass finish. I only use Silicone in the corners, although some people use fiberglass. On the outside of the corners I overlapped the joints so it is 2" thick glued and screwed since this is where it will bust. Pond Armor has been used by multiple members here with great results, and I will be using it again in the future.
