Or I could be how much water volume you can hold in ALL the glass boxes you have

Spent some time with the tank and a hydraulic jack to properly shim the stand tonight. I did the best I could building the stand level but under the weight of all the glass it was clear that the floor was pretty screwy as far as level/hills.

To clear the hills in the cement I shimmed the stand in all 4 corners and under the other 4 vertical supports so none of the rest of the stand sits on these unevenly raised hills. I had a 4 foot level laying lengthwise in the tank and my 2 foot level laying across the width. Dead level along the 8 foot length and I am within a razorblade's thickness across the 3 foot distance.

Not really an exciting update I know. Once the bracing goes in tomorrow night I will frame the rest of the fishroom in so I can relocate all the insulation i have laying around down here into those walls! Fishroom wall and the wall around the stand will be insulated to keep the cold and the noise in the fishroom.

Nice build so far Brett. Good to see the actual tank, the dimensions look pretty awesome. Keep us posted.

Just working in my office. Nothing to see here folks.

Is that why you run so much? So you can realize your goal of one day being able to actually fit inside one of your tanks? In that case well done!

You could lay across the width of this tank... smalls =)
