Not sure about the concrete at all. It was considered but not looked into with any great detail or costs.

If I ever do another one I am sure it will be explored in more detail.

Interesting, thanks for the reply.

Ok after talking it over with Butch @ Pond Armor and Gerald @ Polymer Composites the general feeling is the structure is stable and it would be best to leave what it there in place and add this final layer of epoxy and fiberglass on top.

Will be starting after work tonight.

Looking to build a plywood tank myself so excited to see what happens.

Epoxy arrived but no fiberglass yet. Should be here tomorrow.

Tonight I just got done with the Max Bond Thixotropic in all the corners. Used about 3/4 of the 2 gallon kit. Gave me about a 1.5" fillet joit all around the tank.

Tomorrow I will cut the fiberglass cloth (If it arrives) to workable sections and apply the first coat of the Max ACR with the HD foam rollers.

Is that the color that the tank is going to end up or does everything just need to be washed, cause I like how it looks as it it. The final hurdle's been crossed and the finish line is just ahead for you.
