1600 Gallon Bioshock Octopus Aquarium!

[predatorkeeper87]

So after finishing my first floor and kitchen ( a project that took a lot longer than i thought!) I'm back to working on the aquarium. Everything is ready for fiberglassing! hopefully its not as much of a pain as i think! After the fiberglassing then ill move onto the epoxy marine paint. Then i just need to decorate and buy the 2" acrylic fun fun!

Well im halfway done with the fiberglassing. I ran out of resin though so definitely underestimated how much i would need (used 3 gallons, need two more gallons). I still need to do the window frames and center brick support. The fiberglass turned out great though! Its stinky but pretty easy to work with if you have patience!

Hahaha yeah pdxmonkeyboy Ill be curious how much weight those casters of his can hold! After a few hundred gallons Id never attempt to put an aquarium on wheels.
