Very interesting build can't wait to see it done

how are you going to get the glass in there?

haha good question, I am planning on putting them in through the front, the first one will be easy but the second one will be pretty tight. If it turns out to be too snug I will just make one of the top cross members removable. I'll definitely be test fitting the glass before paint/pond armor.

Well I am finally healed up and my wife successfully gave birth to our little baby girl 3 weeks ago...things are starting to settle down a bit so I had a few hours to get some work done on the 300. It's mostly little stuff but its slowly getting there!

I totally love the logic behind us Fish Keepers " Must Finish building fish tank... Worry about Finishing basement another time ! "
Great Job by the way ! and congrats adding a new fry to your shoal

Finished welding out and split the sections apart. Just need to drill holes for the overflow and take it all to work to sandblast!

Coming along real nice!

Thanks! And yea Podzy, I figured this would be good incentive to start finishing the basement...Probably just continue framing/dry walling once the tank is set done. Sounds good in theory anyways!

 

[rotaryblake]

All blasted and sitting on the stand, now for the last little bit of welding and then its on to sealing the inside!
Not too sure how I feel about the shadows being cast from the top cross members, I might end up moving the lighting a bit, we'll see.
