Welcome to R2R, awesome tank:)
 


This work? Its a little older of a video. Im pulling my leds tomorrow to fix a couple that are dim and i have a couple strings out. The humidity are is easily the single worst thing to deal with i think.

Anyways ill take pics while i have everything going on and with any luck on sunday ill have the glass and everything clean and my led issue resolved for some pics.

I will make a new "build" thread soon and i ordered 2 streaming webcams that i will hopefully be able to set up next weekend

If the embed didnt work...


 
Welcome to Reef2Reef. I am in the middle of a plywood tank build. Nice to see another plywood aquarium owner.
 
Wow, awesome!!!
What are the tank dimensions?
The overflow looks cool too! What type of weir did you use if any?

The bottom is a 4x8 sheet of plywood.. its 32" tall. The overflow is a Coast-to-Coast and holds about 45 gallons of water. I have three 1.5 inch downpipes after that but one is still not hooked because I haven't put my algae scrubber back online
 
Yeah i kinda gave up on the local forums... i dont really need the for sales, id rather read opinions and peoples experiences and crap

Welcome; I'd really love some info on the construction process - ply thickness, adhesives used & screws etc, sealant.

And would love to see your algae scrubber.:)
 
Ill make a youtube of all of it after i clean up a little....

I have a bunch of tips id offer to plywood builders. Ill dig some pics up. A I doubled the 3/4 quarter plywood on the glass sides and ripped two by fours to Brad nail into the corners to keep the pressure off of the joints. Hopefully sunday i can catch up
