my second plywood build

[imusuallyuseless]

Did you use silicone in the corners?

 

[mike b]

nope I used some wood putty on the corners and to cover all screws as well, sanded it down and painted over it I know the silicone will stick to the epoxy but I felt it was unnecessary

 

[zennzzo]

how did you mount the glass?

 

[mike b]

Im not sure if you can tell from the pic but I laid the tank on its front and put the silicone down then i put the glass in and put a couple of 5 gallon buckets one filled with water and one with gravel to weigh the glass down I waited three days and then put a nice bead of silicone around the edges I then waited another seven days gave it a test fill halfway let it sit for a week drained it waited another seven days put the stand together and BABAM! plywood tank

Nice take and it just shows what we can do with
Little money and left overs.
