Good stuff man. I’m wrapping my own stand and tank today, so I laughed when you said that part. Looking forward to the next update!

Great job mate. It's better to overengineer and be patient, plan beforehand with a job like this, than be impatient, rush because you're eager then possibly have a leak in the middle of night or when you out shooting pool with buddies. Then in hindsight you think I should of did this to prevent that. What I took away from this and my own experience, is patience, forward thinking and research what you don't know will reward you in the end. Can't wait for final result. DIY is back😎👍

Corner trim would be a better solution if you want to get those corners completely sealed like you want to achieve it with those straps. 1. It is one piece, and 2 it handles movement better

Finally doing what I would have done with your fish room. A few huge aquariums instead of a ton of smaller ones. Water is easier to maintain and you can have much cooler more realistic biomes in the larger tanks.

Joey its wise to try to predrill holes when you can also if your worried about splitting the wood heating up the screws will stop that 100 percent. That been said i love your channel and what you made

@sachaschnauzer2903 4 күн бұрын

Is the centre of that 16ft where all the 8ft plywood pieces meet? If so, you have built in a possible single central point of failure. Staggered joints, say 4ft 8ft 4ft and 6ft 4ft 6ft interfaced ply would remove the single point/middle flex point single point of failure?

@thekingofdiy 4 күн бұрын

no, its staggered. one side is longer than other. I did it as you mentioned. I figured the same thing.

@AndNowThis.. 5 күн бұрын

It looks great but I have a question. Why press it against it? Wouldn’t it be better to cut out a pocket (I guess that’s what it’s called) in the middle of the wood and fill it with silicone and then slide the acrylic panel down? I don’t build anything and I enjoy your vids but I was just wondering.

@alicichlid6805 4 күн бұрын

I don't understand the extra wood around the seams? Isnt it usually sharp edges where epoxy fails? I reckon putting a piece of wood with a triangle profile around the seams would make more sense

Covering your seams with more seams is not the right answere. The best thing to use would have been bathroom water proofing paper

Looking at that and comparing it to my plywood aquarium I can say you overbuilt it alot. How about a series of trying not to overbuild. I used quality birch ply. You probably call it Scandinavian. I used 15 mm thick plywood and nothing else. The top is a plywood sheet with two holes. Then I used fiberglass and epoxy. Albeit my aquarium is not just as big as yours it’s 295 cm long 53 cm high and 78 cm wide. The stand is overbuilt to prevent warping and there is foam in between. 12 mm thick opti white glass. Technically 10 would have been enough but tock 2 mm extra.
