225 gallon acrylic build

[Athleticfisherman]

as my plywood tank got older i started to worry about how long i really had before something went wrong, so i started plans to build the biggest tank i could make out of 2 sheets of 12mm acrylic, i came up with 17.5" high 96" long and 30" wide.
this tank is pretty much already built. all that is left is to see if it'll hold water. i will post pics as i set it up.

i used euro style bracing and weld on 4&16 to seal this tank. i didn't have an acrylic edge scrapper to finish the end so i used the back of an exacto knife which did not bad.

my seals look like crap but i don't think it'll affect the integrity of the tank

How did the tank turn out? I'm interested in doing something similar to this kind of build myself!

That tank definitely turned out nice. Too bad he abandoned this thread
