I’m new here. Last kept marines 18 years ago. House move, marriage, family and all the happy stuff got in the way.

spent last 7 years on a grande passive self build. Now I’m on 2nd fix and plaster having just made (yeap) and fitted my own passive triple glazed windows...... now my next long awaited project - my massive marine tank and mini eco. Well quite big actually will be an up and over the door affair to my lounge entrance, two columns around a doorway 1000 x 800 footprint either side, 1000 over door bridge and overall height of 2700. Can’t wait to get started. Planning on 19mm Lam with 25mm bases. Any suggestions welcome. My 1st tank build...... but I’m not at all phased having just finished building my own house - never build one of those before either - all 3 storey 550 sq meters of it.

Welcome... just remember to plan a way to access the inside to be able to clean it! Don’t want to go ‘diving’ every weekend!
Yeah already wondering about that. I will have a gap of about 350mm from top of the tank to the ceiling. That’s a tight squeeze even for diving
