WOW! giant tanks! Do you have room to live in your house or do you just swim around in the tanks!?!
I had a dream about swimming with my fish the other night... it was very interesting, haha

How are your tanks so big.... where do you keep them?
Do you have a fish room... or do you run an aquatics shop...?
Tell us more.

Lol! Good question

I think we are into fish a bit to much. I had a dream my fish were jumping out of their tanks.

I do not run an aquatic shop but I have worked in a couple owned by friends of mine.Five of the ten tanks I'm currently running are home made.They are wood tanks with glass fronts.They were built inside my walkout basement/fishroom.They are here to stay as they are to big to remove without removing the sliding glass door frame.Here is a picture of one and filter.

PP, the tanks are sealed with waterproof epoxy.
oldfish, which brand did you use? Did you silicone the joints after the epoxy or did you use another method? How about glass installation? Just silicone?
