looks the same as in the first pic. I wanna scrap the double tier and build something else. While I was driving yesterday I thought of a great idea. I just gotta draw it out on paper a few times to get the best "picture"
160 gallon vinyl flooring lined tank

im tossing the double tier. I want something different. I was messing with it today about to install it and decided eh. I want more of a landscape theme with rocks and curves
still the same as the last picture I posted of it. Still no leaks! Im still tossed up on the plant holder. I burned the tier I first made, and my mind keeps changing in what I want. Im looking for maximum surface area with the smallest foot print possible. Its so hard to decide.
Sweet, be sure to post some more pictures once you decide what to do with it 
. Great work so far.
. Great work so far.4 months and 1 day of holding water, not a drop. Finally settled on a plant holder. So maybe in a week or 2 Ill post up another pick.
It happened.......but it was my fault. Just like any other thing in the world prep work is KEY. I starting cleaning the vinyl on the left side and worked my way to the right. The right is where the silicone detached after so long. Nothing but my fault.
I topped off the tank one night. Woke up the next morning and the carpet was wet and the tank was dripping water on the floor, about 1/2gallon per hr.

Top right corner on the bottom is where the silicone failed to stay

You can see where the bond held and where the bond failed

The left side of the tank where I did the best prep. Silicone was nice and strong and had to give it a good tug, silicone tore and kept strong to the vinyl.

Only myself to blame, another reason NOT to rush and always triple clean. Would I use this setup again? 110% I would. The vinyl showed NO abuse, no deterioration , no nicks no nothing. Maybe PL's poly roof and flashing sealant would be my better of a choice bond is super strong I used it on the current tank they are now in. Dont be afraid of the vinyl just prep it good just like any other DIY tank. User error.
This is where they are now, emergency build. 7'x2'x18" in a detached garage hence the "green house"
