Thanks Eddy I hope so!

Thank you bro! and you've got about a month id say to get that 1000 rolling but I'm gonna cheat to hopefully get mine going in a month...

@@OffTheDeepEndAquatics part 14 just released, I'm full throttled now_TOP FUEL baby....lol

He bought the glass from someone selling it online. He designed the tank around the size of the glass panels..... He got a great deal on the glass.

Dm if u can on Instagram and I can help you get it if you need some in the future. I had the same problem they wouldn't sell to me but they have lots of reps all over the United States that will sell it

I used chopstrand i believe. Its weaved in every direction so its strong in all directions. The fiberglass glass people are confusing. Talked to a lot of them but they don't know anything past what they do which is almost never making a big aquarium. I think the fiberglass work was completely unnecessary. I could have just laid dry glass into the interseal epoxy along all the seams and I know that would have been sufficient. The gel coats they use and even the fiberglass resin are just types of epoxy anyway.

@@OffTheDeepEndAquatics Check out this guy ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-W60iuC5T1FM.html He's from here in the UK, and fibre glasses koi ponds. He has lots of videos on youtube. I am gonna use the same stuff as him on my plywood build. I don't think the fibreglass you used was the waterproofing type. It was weaved stuff rather than chopstrand, but the resin is maybe good enough. Plus all the layers of epoxy paint you used.

That would be insane! Hope you post updates while you start the build so I can follow along

You'll need to go back and watch part one to fully understand but they need to be different sizes for different size pieces of glass. I recommend a minimum of 3" overlap

@@OffTheDeepEndAquatics I must of missed it in part one but thank you very much for the reply!!!

ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-15KdOfXZXM0.html here is the link to my video. If u decide u want to use interseal u can mesg me on Instagram and I'll try to help u find it local to u

Id love to but it would cost more than the tank cost to build. They're super expensive and at this size it would be insane expensive

"Surface Works" located in West Bridgewater MA. If u call them they can probably refer u to a location near you that sells it.

Off The Deep End Aquatics thank you

Hey thanks for the comment that makes a lot of sense. I ended up relying on the epoxy and sanding to make most of the seams go away but if I could go back I would have done what you're saying. Like I said in the video it was my first time. Luckily it still got the job done
