Size is 30 x 5 x 4 it will hold 40" of water. Construction is 2x4's every 12" with double 2x4 bottom and top header. We will brace the top with stainless steel cable and form a flange along the top with a 2x8 to keep rays in. Sorry didn't take pictures while was under construction yesterday. Liner will be here Monday and should be up and running by next weekend. Installing two 1/2hp 10000 GPH pumps for this tank. One day to construct wood shell, and another 1-2 days to plumb and install liner and piping. Total cost around 2000material and labor was free thanks guys much appreciated the help. Around 3700 gallons and not big enough.

It will just be plugged into my existing system all I need to do is make connections to drain line and return line you see in the pictures of piping on concrete floor.
 
Only 2g's for EVERYTHING?!?!?! Wow, you are quite the frugal shopper, or you have some awesome connections. Those pumps sound expensive. Top job sir.

Sorry pumps cost additional 500 each.
 
Looks good Mike. I'm about due for another visit to Medford! But next time, I'm driving so I can bring lots of goodies home:naughty:

Wow that is pretty amazing.. What happened to the huge huge acrylic tank?
