I will put together a do's and dont's list when this is all done. I just scored a slew of T-8 light fixtures so I am going to have to rebuild my hood to make room. Looks like this tank will be planted.
My 315G Plywood Tank Build

- Start date
Cant wait for the DO's and DON'TS list, Im thinking acrylic for my build. Do you think 1/4" is thick enough? It will have a 3" border of 3/4" plywood around it. Dimensions of acrylic are 8'x 2'. What do ya think BadOleRoss ?

I had an 8' build a number of years ago that was 30" deep and went with 1/2".

Thanks Im getting prices now. Really hate this area, if I was still in Chicago I'd have about 10-15 places to choose for glass. The price for defending our freedom I guess, crappy places to be stationed I mean, LOL!

Looking forward to that list. I'm getting deep into my planning stage myself. I tapped the brakes abit, when I saw the problems you had with the glass and pond coat, but it does sound like your new plan should work great.
Yeah, I tapped the brakes as well. I wish I had not broke the gass but this has really slowed me down and forced me to think things through more. Plus, I tested a bunch of stuff!
For me it is one simple thing a mis-measurement to have to regroup. But I guess when putting this much contained water in the house it is a good thing to go slow.
hey ross, what did you use, pond coat or rubber coat? also how much did you use to build your sump
