    New 300 gallon In-Wall tank build

    That should work. Not sure about the mag12 for that size tank. What overflow do you have? I'm trying the water blaster 10k for my tank. Plan on running close to 2000 gph thru the sump.

    I'm going to prob pass on the epoxy. What should I put over the primer then that won't peel? I plan on doing a few coats of poly no matter what but I'm wondering if I need to do anything more than than the two coats of aqua lock primer? I ran out of sand paper so I can't do my second coat

    Rate your Heater

    I just picked up two finnex 500 watt heaters for my new 110 gal. Never used them before but wanted to make sure I got the titanium this time. Have an apex so no controller for the heaters.

    I went and got some wood for the top and bottom inside. I ended getting the maple because a whole sheet was only $7 more than the nice plywood. I also picked up some primer white paint called aqua lock, anybody ever hear of it? It's nearly $30 per gal. I heard good things. I also picked up...

    Vodka Dosing.

    I believe the water will need to be constantly mixed since alcohol and water are two different viscosity . Which is what joe and Henry said.

    Thanks Shawn. I actually forgot to get those last two pieces for the back/bottom. However, there really is no load on that section I like the frp idea. Do they make smooth sheets though? Also would you still seal it with poly or would you paint with kilz? I've already purchased LEDs for...

    I got my stand done. Made some mods to the size I wimped out and went 61x26x41. Didn't want to make it longer after I measured again where the tank is going. It would have come out too far into my hallway. The width also had to be shortened a little because it would have stuck out too far in...

    It is $50 a sheet for maple. Do you think I should use plywood? I was thinking for the top piece but not sure.

    Yup. Prime cuts. Most of the pieces have a flat side to them. I picked up a miter saw from a buddy so if you could help with the cuts once I get to skinning that would be great. I'm def planning on solid wood for doors and sides. The stand and now sump is what is holding me up. I can start...
