Plywood tank

[I<3fish]

My 2 cents:
Very unique. I like the idea of the filtration in the same unit. Have you decided how you are going to brace the top? And...I'm assuming that the overall length is 10 ft so I'm guessing the glass is...about...say, 7ft because of the width of the drum?

Yes, I am going to do a similar bracing to the top as necrocanis does.

What did you use to seal your tank? That looks like "BlueStuff"

The two part epoxy paint is called Interseal 670HS. I was told that it was the same kind of epoxy paint used to paint swimming pools as well as for industrial uses. I could have tinted it any color I wanted but I liked the blue color. The paint came standard in either blue or black. The stand and tank angle iron frame and bracing was painted with the black epoxy. It is holding up well so far. The tank is plywood covered with fibreglass and braced by 1" angle iron.
