Hello! So I have started this thread on a couple of other sites but always enjoy hearing feedback, etc so figured I would start one here as well!
The tank is 7 feet tall, 5 feet wide, and 8 feet long.
The 3 acrylic panels are 2" thick with the 2 sides having the dimensions 5 x 4 and the front 5 x 3
It is a stacked build 2 x 4 with OSB on the inside and outside (yes im showing that it can be done)
Angle iron reinforcement was then utilized in all the window seatings for added support
The entire tank is fiberglassed with 9 gallons of polyester resin and chopped strand mat
MAX ACR epoxy (6 gallons) is the step I am currently on and will be completing this week. I am using both white and black tints to make sure I have full coverage.
Once the painting is complete I will then move onto the decorating and plumbing. To any Bioshock fans out there I'm still considering what the picture in the background will be. I want it to look like you are leaving the bathosphere and entering the underwater city. A 4" to 6" thick piece of foam will be cut and fitted to resemble the bulkhead doorway to the outside world. (A 6" gap will be between the foam and back wall as to add to the illusion.
