What kind of plastic board did you use?

Don't know the name got it for free at work but I saw it at the Home depot for $33.99 .
3 days with water and all is good .

Got a gold fish in it to see if he lives ?

I have seen that plastic and wondered how it would hold up.I do have one suggestion for your next build,give the silicone more drying time before adding water. I usually lay the tank over on its side to allow the fumes to roll out and wait at least a week before adding water. That will assure the areas where the silicone is thickest to cure properly. I have ruined a couple of projects in the past because I was too eager to see it done
Good luck with it and don't forget to post some pic's

i actually wonder if the plactic is aquarium safe in general... hmmm

 

[portabuddy]

Friend told me that it's not plastic it PVC board and the gold fish he still alive .

 

[pythonlatino]

Still need some work but everything looks good .

If things come out good I'll begin with the big tank 7' x 3' x 3'

Lookin good! How did you attach the window (glass??) to the pvc sheets? With the same sillicone?

 

[pythonlatino]

Yes with the same silicone but I put silicone sealed the wood too.
