so sorry. My computer suffered from virus and krnl file corrupted. I had to reinstall the os. I am still working on all your designs including the unspecified nor detailed large pond, haha. I built realy large one from an individual style of brick I designed, but the compouter could not handle speed.
Aqua...,
Ok so i want to know if you can do a step by step 3D of an actual tank build. I am looking at doing an an 8' x 4' x 2.5' tank. I am going to use fiberglass in the seams and then use the "new Rubber" (permadri) as the sealant... And i want to make a custom stand that will support the weight and also have a 55gal sump and 2 FX5's. What do you think you can do? They Plywood will be 1" thick and i wanted to do a nice furniture wood on the outside to stain.

OK. can I have a bit more detail on the materials that i should use? I will work on it as soon as possible. I am just finishing a few other things but I am sure I can fit it in.
Are you saying you want a fibre glass tank with glass or acrylic panels attached to the front with the rubber style sealant?. how thick do you want the fibreglass. I am not a structural engineer, at least not yet, and so I could estimate the width required, but I really am not that sure with fibreglass. Tell me how thick you think the tank walls should be. I will add in stress bars and cross bars at the top. Should I Round the corners of the tank, as this could add to the stability of the tank when filled up with near to 2 tons of water? I will start on it as soon as possible, I have a small cue of people, it gives me plenty to draw.

No No... Im going to use plywood 3/4-1" thick but im going to use fiberglass the seal and strengthen all the seams before i use the rubberized sealant. And im going to use one large 8' x 2.5' x 1/2" thick glass as the window..
