Building a 1500 Gallon plywood & glass tank

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
looks amazing. those fish are so small in comparison. I might have to build one sooner than I thought lol.
 
Jealousy abounds, but I should have the stuff to seal my tank here in a few weeks, and the week of my birthday I'll be finishing my build if it goes as planned. Great job!
 
I was doing some math in my head...you may have already discussed this but I couldn't find it. How many square feet of pond armor did you use? I'm guessing like 300-400? am I close on this?

Yeah get your sh*t together necro ;).
 
Lol, yeah I always end up spelling that wrong..

I used 2x as much pond armor as the advertised coverage. Good thing too since I didn't get any leaks I guess.

So instead of using the initial 4 quarts like I thought I ended up using 8 in all with enough left over for touch ups and 1/2 a quart just in case.

Over all the project cost was twice as expensive because of the pond armor and the glass. But now that it's just about done I think it was worth it. Only time will tell. lol

LOL @ "chiclids" Aren't those the tiny little gum things? Oh wait, that's chiclets!

Cichlids :D

Kinda sucks that fly river turtles are CITES II and can't be imported in to the US nor exported without CITES certification. Good luck on finding one. It would look cool in your tank.
I can get anything I want. Leave it to me VLdesign PM me know if you want one I make these types of things happen.
