2500 gallon idea yes or no??

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
What are the material details for the rest of the tank? You mention cement and steel... what parts are going to be cement and what parts are going to be steel?

It looks like you are planning on framing the windows? What are your plans for the frames? Angle iron? Stainless? What gauge?
 
yes there will be frames welded all together to make one solid frame then im going to make pockets with angle iron that holds the glass during install and will also hold the glass tight once the glass is agenst the frame and in place im going to have strips that bolt to the frame and hold the glass in place the glass it will be siliconed as well once the frame is built it will set on top os a block construction like a foundation the front will be 2 feet tall brick then 4 feet tall glass and frame construction the same with the sides as for the back will be a wall of block 6 feet tall there will be re-rod and the blocks will also be filled with cement..im not sure how the frame will be anchored to the blocks just yet right now im going for more of a search for info and experience i will draw up a few more pics when i get home as well thanks for any info..
