    800Gallon Tall Plywood Tank

    Started working on the frame for the panel. After much thought I went ahead and made it better than I had originally planned. I still have more to do to it but you can get the idea of how it is going to be. My fiberglass materials arrived today.

    Does anyone know what Silicone is used at Aquariums and Zoos for there tanks? I have been to several azoos and aquariums over the last few days and noticed they all seemed to be the same. I would love to know what they use for a project I am working on.
