Build of my 1850 g tank

[Matteus]

The use of edpm liner and A4 stainless frame has been used with succes earlier by friends. I know of two 10 000 liter tanks built this way. Mine is 7000 liters something.

The product is ms-polymer based , elastic glue/bonding and sealer that is fishsafe. There are similar products out there. ive used something called tec7 for edpm rubber liner.

Pay attention that i use edpm liner and not cheap pvc liner

Yes the holes are countersunk and so on.
Once again, fix &seal between liner and frame. Then screw it into position. Then a thick seam fix & seal on frame. Press the glass until the seam smoothen out a bit. I have about 3-4 mm thick sealant between frame and glass.

Then a seam around the whole glass sides

Wow. This is outstanding. I have literally just started thinking about doing a build very similar to this. You have already answered a few of my questions.

I have acquired a pond liner with dimensions that would do a pond with very similar dimensions as to what you built here. I was going to add a bit more floor space and not as much height. But was also wanting 2 viewing windows similar to what you have.

how thick of glass are you using for your panels?

Finnished with lighting and organized the cables a bit. Completed the top lids. And now let there be water?

Added a cirk. Pump at 32 000 L/h as a streamer . The outlet is 110 mm diameter

Since i have splitted front windows. And the glass only reach as deep as 80 cm from surface i use 15 mm thick glass. Same preassure as i had in my other tank that were 80 cm in height

Let's see this filled up!

Absolutely?

 

[Magnus_andersson]

Stopped filling at 6798 liters to be exact? just to cover the top seam of glass. Can easily put in 500 liters more but no meaning of doing it. No leaks at all....yet. Over and all it seems to be a success of all work ive put in to this. ???
