Notice in the fourth picture how bad the floor was out before.The cut in the sheet rock is where the floor used to be and now it's level!!

 

[jason sartain]

Now I'll show you what's going on this stand I've worked on for 3 weeks now.
The 5 gal can is there for a comparison.

I got the corners of my tank re-siliconed last night.Tonight I'm going to fill it up with fresh water and check for leaks.Wish me luck!!!

 

[purplegorilla]

Very nice...You gonna put wood floor in there? It looks like you have about 3-4 inches of gap between the floor and the wall, that you have put new support beam in .

 

[derek_s]

I actually really like those overflows.

 

[jason sartain]

No thats where the old floor came up too,I had to go lower with the new floor to make it level.

O.K. I my tank held water for three days without any leaks,and I got my wall cut out where the tank is going.
I got some of my friends and my brother over to help me move it in place and here are the pictures.
The 75 gal in the pictures is one of the tanks going into the big one.
I'm also going to SWC this afternoon to see Sal about some pumps and a skimmer and maybe some lights.
