thatsright99 Posted April 26, 2014 Report Share Posted April 26, 2014 (edited) Still a bit to finish off but you get the idea these tanks aren't for me, they are what I help to build so asking what's going in them and finished pics filled with water is pointless. Sorry.but that's the way t is. Edited May 1, 2014 by thatsright99 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JayPee Posted April 26, 2014 Report Share Posted April 26, 2014 I wish I had a 10 ft. That doesn't look 10 ft though. The lids must be huge. Sent via auspost Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Outlaw Posted April 27, 2014 Report Share Posted April 27, 2014 I'd have 3 top braces/bridging if it was 10ft? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BRISSY Posted April 28, 2014 Report Share Posted April 28, 2014 What is going in it? I agree it doesn't really look like it is 10ft... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fish Junkie Posted April 28, 2014 Report Share Posted April 28, 2014 Those lids would be 3x3 or 900 x 900 so no way 10 foot Nice looking tank but FJ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aqc247 Posted April 28, 2014 Report Share Posted April 28, 2014 (edited) Oh come on boys, give the benefit of doubt ..... camera perspective makes it look shorter than actual. If its 3ft wide, 830 mm high, looks proportional to me... think of three x 3 foot cubes = a 10 footer; 15mm all round, euro-braced so stronger ie. two cross braces; those studs be close to 100 mm x 38 mm or so, bottom bracing probably yet to go on, rag is there just cleaned fresh silicone. Tank is not finished. I don't see any lids, or lid bracing as yet, so you guys are just assuming. Split lids 900 x 355 & 900 x 540 , or triple shouldn't be a problem. Just my take on it, could be wrong going by some of his previous stuff posted lol, but like to give the under dog a go Might have an idea of the tank maker - makes big tanks that hold water, so does the job.

Fish Junkie Posted April 28, 2014 Report Share Posted April 28, 2014 Maybe an update might help considering the guys been online today ? Ppl will assume if no updates funny to start a thread then abandon it You could be right Ian but then so could anyone who's posted Let's hope we get an update hopefully with tank full of water with some monsters in it FJ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shakey2277 Posted April 28, 2014 Report Share Posted April 28, 2014 I never thought of installing braces like that (using the wood) Sent from my RM-821_apac_australia_new_zealand_218 using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thatsright99 Posted May 1, 2014 Author Report Share Posted May 1, 2014 (edited) I helped build it so what's going in it, don't know or care. 3piece bottom 95 cm each, 15 mm glass, 2-3 cm of silicone, for the tightwads 5 mm of black strips comes to actually 9.7'...(+5mm!) The lids aren't my concern,so that's been sorted by whoever. And if you look at the "euro bracing", there's actuall 4 braced...

JayPee Posted May 1, 2014 Report Share Posted May 1, 2014 Is there any advantage of having a 3 piece base ?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aquaholic99 Posted May 1, 2014 Report Share Posted May 1, 2014 Split bottom allows for more flex on longer tanks and is cheaper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
