Building a 600 gallon acrylic tank

[Cabinetman]

Hey guys. So I thought I would share my newest build on here. It's going to be my biggest tank to date by 100 gallons. My display will be 600 gallon 96x48x30 tall. I've built lots and lots of tanks before my biggest being 500 gallon 96x48x25. My current tank is a 340 that's 96x32x25 but it's just getting to Be to small for my sohal and the rest of my tangs. I'm from Nova Scotia Canada from a little town called Truro. I'll be doing a full how to video series on how I build these tanks too for any that are interested. I built one for a guy a while back who was supposed to show ME building his tank but instead he cut me out and is now claiming he built the tank so I guess time to do my own series. I'll start out by sharing a video showing the 500 gallon. Lots more vids to come. Starting the stand tonight!

Just digging up a few videos I managed to record while building the 340

In this one I talk about Angled over flow box

Here's one showing how I made the overflow box. I ended up painting it using krylon fusion paint instead.


That's all the video I taped of that particular build but I promise I'll be taping everything for my new build!

Hey I recognize you!


You were on Joeys channel once, A.K.A. THE KING OF DIY.
He went to your house and taped your tank. He talked about doing a build with you in the video. I always wondered why I never seen you again. Did you build his new monster tank?

I have also seen your "Wooden Toolman" channel and noticed that Joey was recently showing off some new jigs in his DIY videos but noticed they were in your videos long before Joey's did he get the idea from you for those ?

Ya. Once the tank was done he erased all the content of me from his channel and started saying he built the tank. What a fake
