Some of the finishing touches are "drying" like some paint, some puddy, then base and the canopy isnt 100% done yet. Lil more sanding on it and then paint it.
Pics will be soon, and most of it done by monday.
Ill post some pics VERY soon of it.

Holy crap! I can't even tell you how jealous I am, man. The biggest tank I've ever had was a 250G a while ago.

500?! That is suhweet!

what are you going to put in it?

how much did all the construction materials cost you?

How many hours total did it take for you to complete it?

its like 8.1 feet by 4 feet by 2.2 feet high

So far so good. I havent water tested it yet though, however i will soon. things are going good, i hope you guys like my tank and the odd style i did things.

I kinda fixed the water line - tank not beings able to be 100% full effect by making my canope on top taller and sealing it with epoxy and silcone so you could add 6 inches higher of water making the tank a 568 gal tank or some thing, if wished. i hate seeing water lines.

[piranha45]

jesus christ! You aren't even gonna be able to SEE the fish in that tank if you put any foliage in!

I still want my other questions answered tho!

yea yea yea.

It's real cool to have a big aquarium.

I'd rather have a 10G than a 500G any day. Takes me 3 minutes to clean it.

How bout that 500G bob? Can you clean it in 3 minutes? I didn't think so.

Being the good guy I am, I'll do you a favor and take that off your hands.
