I hope you put some wheels underneath that thing because it looks like it may get rather heavy and hard to move after you get the concrete on... Looking really good though!

I want it to get a lil bit of weight for structural integrity. This foam is super light and the concrete will go on in coats similar to paint. It should stay manageable and if it doesnt I've designed it I'm 5 pieces so I can move it easily

Well catastrophe struck! I was taking the bottom tank inside to paint the background and set up everything while the concrete was drying. I must have torqued it when I was picking it up resulting in a big crack from top to bottom. Dreams crushed!!! I just reached out to Brian and he may have exactly what I need to replace the cracked pane. Thanks Brian!!! You have no idea what that means to me. Maybe all my time and hard work won't be wasted after all. I'll post pics in a few

Thanks guys for the support. It just so happens Brian has the exact piece I need so hopefully we can Frankenstein the 2 together to make one good tank. I'm not quitting now. I've gone to far to turn back

Did it have water in it when it cracked? If so be sure to double check the stand for a bump or other nonuniformity!

Probably just old glass and me being careless. Bnoel came to the rescue with a pane of glass. So hopefully it wont take too much extra work to get them swapped this week. I'm still on schedule for completion sometime in 2012.
