Wow!
It is really the case where size does matter.
Would you keep posting further process?
I am very curios about aquascaping there - should be a challenge to do it in size depth.

Driftwood is marvelous!

Now THAT is a nice set up! I love the way you have integrated it into the house. I had my house built with a drain where I plan to put a tank (much smaller) in the wall as well someday.

If that tank develops a leak, would you call your insurance company or F.E.M.A?

That thing is huge!!

nice ENORMOUS tank!! Holy moly, I supose if it did leak your neibors would have to clame flood damage too. (actually that sounds like a good tabloid story, who would believe right) I had a 180 gallon break on my once on a middle floor of a house, it was not good, 700 gallons is another story. Look forward to seening more on this one.

Hi everyone, sorry it's been awhile since I posted any updates. Been pretty hecktic at work and caught a flu-bug going around last week.
From this weekend, here are a few pix of the driftwood finally in the tank. Boy this thing was pretty hardheaded in working with, but we finally got it home.

Finally trimmed it down. Had to cut quite a bit to make her fit. We attempted our best jinga skills friday to see if it would fit...NOT! So off to cutting it in half it had to be. I was worried that the saw marks would be apparant an "unatural". So I thought first cuting 75% of the backside then prying/forcing the split to the front would creat a look more "natural". I first drilled a 3/8" hole all the way through the main trunk where I would re-attach it again in the tank using a stainless steel rod/washer and locking bolts.



* Drill completed


* Sawing the beast in half... This was not fun, i'm going to be extra sore tommorrow!


* Ta-da!


* Even cut in half, it still feels like a ton!


* Brother-n-law giving me a very much needed hand.


* Overall pretty happy with how it turned out. A lot of potential to compliment the planting/aquascaping... we'll see.


* Another angle


I'm still waiting for my order of a few of my wood trim and wood corbel pieces to come in. so hopefully will have some updates soon on how this assembly and stain finish goes.

Thanks.
