Thanks

I'm exhausted just by imagine if you ask me to build a tank like yours.
well done, bro!!

Putting this together by myself is pretty rough but is well worth it. The rays have needed a bigger home.

Agree. Haha. Cant wait to see more pics :3

Still not finished. Plywood is what will line the interior. Couldn't build it this way without the plywood.

What's the window dimensions ?

I see alot of freshwater sting rays here. I'm told they are illegal to own where I live ( Arkansas )

I could build a tank like this easy

I am good with wood. I'm just afraid of fiberglassing ect

The actual dimensions of what you will be able to see 24" in height by 87" in length. Fiberglassing is not that bad for me as I have done plenty of it. Just takes practice.

Yes just stacked and screwed. The corners overlap each other. I tried kicking the crap out of one of the walls last night lol. It didn't move. When completed there will be around 30lbs of screws holding the walls together.

Cant wait to see the next step!

Nope. Moving it this weekend once the walls are fully stacked and I have all day to move the rays to the other side of the garage.

Are you using a liner or something like pond shield to seal it?

Fiberglassing the corners and seams of the plywood that will line the inside followed by Pond Armor.

Ok cool is there no need to fiberglass between the 2x4s on the up right walls because of the tightness of them being screwed together? Sorry for the bombardment of questions just really interested

The whole inside gets lined with plywood from the bottom to sides creating a nice flat surface.
