Soooo glad I'm not in Montana. It's 60 and no beer for me because whiskey's on the menu. I can't wait to see this thing done!

Lol. New years drink for us youngins.
 
Im out of town for the week with Schwan's. So no progress for at least another week. Thanks for all the support though guys. I have three heaters running in the garage now, and I think that it will keep my fish through the winter, but it's playing hell on my power bill lol. It more than doubled last month.
 
wow, nice build. is there somway a admin could make you a sticky only you could post in. i just started on this tread and the thing is its stretched over 123 pages so far, took forever to skim to this point(like 2hrs.). i just think we need somthing more compact to check your progress. keep up the good work.

wow that bill really sucks. maybe you could just bring the cats in and let them sleep in your bed at night? that might cut down on the bill a little ;)
 
hey guys, here's a pic that I promised a while back. You can see three of the plywood pieces on the floor, but now there's four, and I've cut the extra pieces to fill in the gaps. I'll take some more pics tomorrow.

you know when I look at this tank a second time I think to myself...."Man this thing is way over built!" I think that's a good thing though. I won't have to worry about it bursting or anything like that. I think the main concern will be leaks.
