Thanks for all the encouragement guys- hopefully it goes well- I need to come up with a good sized window- the way I figured it, the window might be the only outlay of money on this project
Im sorry- I know its up to 30 hrs now
Right now its 78"x27"x25" but to have the front straight across the width would have to be cut down to 22" which should be about 200g- after its siliconed and bolted every couple of inches I plan on a subfloor to keep the weight off the lip and build the box very tightly to the plastic- maybe even glue it to the plastic like the freezer had
as it sits I just mocked it up with 1/4" hardware but Im thinking about running strips under the hardware to disperse the bolts- I had thought about fender washers( 1" ODx 1/4" ID) but the lips arent big enough for them without hanging over- so its strips or just flats and of course liberal use of GE 1 silicone
If I made 2 tanks then Id have 2 100g tanks- but if i made 1 tank....
