The koi was a rescue, i call it the window licker bc it cleaned up all the algae in the tank

Thanks for the bowfin love! He has really greened up his belly now that the water temp dropped a bit

Cant take credit on that one. Never executed it fully. But still drains, pumps, filter system is mostly the same basic principle as it was 6+ years ago

No i sure dont. I estimated the cost around 3500 for everything back in the day. I dont think i skimped on anything though, but the front glass was a used piece. Better to be overbuilt then have it fail, at least with this application

Yep 6 and a half years later still up and running. Still have the 3 gar and the bowfin, others have come and gone and been eaten.

Just an update, the tank is still up and running. No major malfunctions. The time spent building was definitely worth the wait and work.

Here is a pic of my tank

The fiberglass mat its self is 2 layers. Then more resin on top. The walls are probably a little over an 1/8 think and the floor close to 1/2" thick.

I guess ill bump my tank up. Up and running for around 3 1/2 years, no major changes and no issues with construction. Updated the plastic filter sock holder with a 55 gallon plastic drum with sock holes in the top, but thats it.

I would definatly do fiberglass again. Yea i used 2 layers thoughout, overlapping every joint by about 6-8 inches ,then 2 or 3 coats of more resin on top. Other than the algae and fish poop, not much has changed. Sent from my LG-LS860 using MonsterAquariaNetwork App

There was not even a 1/16" of bowing during fill up. Not enough to concern me at the time or now. Sent from my LG-LS860 using MonsterAquariaNetwork App
