    800Gallon Tall Plywood Tank

    :eek2: I FOUND THE HOLE!!!! I am not sure if it was a bubble that popped but I have found a hole about 1/4" x 1/8". Maybe the epoxy and fiberglass did not work there or something I am not sure, I checked the tank over several times and never saw this hole. My plan of action, Sand out the area...

    if I knew the location of the hole that could work. The good news for the day, it is NOT the panel or around the panel leaking, I have about 8" of water in the tank and it is leaking so that means it is the bottom or sides. My guess at this point is the front frame.

    800Gallon Tall Plywood Tank

    The silicone is in and has to sit for 2 weeks before I can water test the tank. I am looking at Nov 15th to start the water test. I will be working on getting the outside of the tank protected and a few other things between now and then.

    800Gallon Tall Plywood Tank

    These are not the greatest but here are some silicone pictures. You can see in the picture some of the spacers I am installing, once I get the rest of the silicone I will cover those. Aslo sorry for the dust and dirt the wind picked up as I was finishing:

    800Gallon Tall Plywood Tank
