18' x 9' x 3.5' catfish tank build in progress.....

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
well it would ruin my garage. Don't know that I could do something of this magnitude in my house lol. When are you getting started on your build basslover? I need to see a thread for it lol. We can feed off of each other's threads. It will be a rare moment when two 4000+ gal tanks are being built and reported on at the same time.
 
lol, trying to learn from my mistakes huh?
 
thanks shovelnose. Going to the store today to get more screws and more bits. Plan on spending around $25. Other than that I plan to get down to business for a few hours at least today. Don't know how much progress I'll make, but Trying to get it out to 8' mark today, and the 10' mark tomorrow. I think you get the picture. Plan on having it fully skeletonized by the end of next week.

Ok so I bought five more pounds of 3" #8 screws today. I also took the tank out to around 7.5' mark, but also cut the small blanks for the top of the frame. So tomorrow I will do the top of the frame so that I can really start making progress again. I still plan on taking it out to at least 10' tomorrow. Trying to keep up on my goals. I would have made it further but didn't have as much time to work on it as I thought I would. Also have to put the next piece of ply on the bottom somehow. lol. Should be interesting. Here's a pic or two.
