Was great meeting you at Henk's house - wish I has asked you more about this great tank

Well a small update.

The slab for the outside fish room has been cast.

 

[carlosdeandrade]

Wow, that's huge!

 

[Dillan]

How did i miss this great build

 

[RiaanP]

must move those compost makers out of the way...

anyway, you are slowly getting there. Next pic and the walls should be done.

 

[Nemeziz_za]

@RiaanP yeah lol those silly composters are set to go for sure.

I'm getting there slowly, but at least it's kinda steady progress :0

 

[Nemeziz_za]

@carlosdeandrade and @ Dillan thanks guys.

 

[Nemeziz_za]

The concrete slab has finally dried and the guys are cracking on with the building of the fish room.

Looking good, is the wood treated?

 

[Nemeziz_za]

@Nur absolutely

 

[Nur]

Ok, get some Raw linseed oil, paint it on liberally. Allow it to soak in over a day then seal the wood with varnish. Will need to be sealed lekker for the CT weather and salty air from tank.

Interesting building material choice.

A double brick wall would be 220 to 250mm thick, where this is a lot thinner. Allowing you more space inside. And 200mm is a lot, if you do not have it.

@RiaanP Here is some info on the boards I chose, they Nutec boards and have had great write ups, they even get used as ceiling and roofing boards. On the inside Im going to insulate and then wrap the inside with Rhino board.

Can't go wrong with nutec boards, perfect for outdoor partitioning and inexpensive
