After talking to a friend late last night.... he planted the idea in my head to do a peninsula style fiberglass tank.
So.... here is the layout idea.
I have a room that connects to my garage. Take the wall facing the garage and cut out a 60" wide by 24" tall hole for the front viewing pane made out of star fire glass
Now go out into the garage and extend the tank to 8' long made out of cinder blocks for stand, plywood and 4 x 4 wood framing coated in fiberglass.
This will make the tank look like your looking down a long gorge when viewed from the 'fish room' The tank will come out to about 600 gallons.
What do you guys think? Anyone work with fiberglass and how this would be done?
