removing the plywood is going to be impossible as we build the tank on it and seal it tight

I was just going to say that, the plywood is sealed onto the bottom pane for good. Reefwars, do you have any advice? I am assuming you're part of Concepts crew? I was thinking of making some extra wide shims and sliding them between the pink styro and the tanks plywood? Will the styro compress too much, rendering the shims useless?
Thanks for the help. |

basically remove any of the white shims between the tank and styrofoam and start to fill with water as it gets heavy it will settle provided your stand is plum and square and level. also your silicone is on its way my buddy ps....looking good man looking good this is gonna be a sweet build cheers denny concept aquatics |

Hey Denny,
The stand is square & plumb according to my 4 ft level and all the measurements. So I don't know where the little droop is coming from but if you're not concerned I will start filling it sometime this week and see how it settles. Could you also send me a small piece of 1/2" glass the same size as the side of the external overflow? I need to replace the one I broke out. Thanks again! Quote:

Nice looking build! I've always loved this 2-panes viewable style.

My friend Steve and my Dad have helped me over the last couple days to get some more drywall put up. The fish room is really near complete in that regard. The drywall in the fish room is Certainteed M2Tech Moisture & Mold resistant so that should help our HVAC fight the higher than usual humidity.

Mudding and tapping is well on its way today! Should be able to paint by mid-week. I am still waiting on the replacement piece of glass for my overflow. If I don't get it from the builder soon, I will go out and get a new one cut at a local glass shop. I am excited to build the sump stand and start working on the plumbing!
And my third Mitras showed up so I will get to work hanging those once the mud dust has settled! |
