Re: Doc's Shark Tank

I have noticed the smell is gone from the silicone. I will be ready tomorrow. It will make a mess but will SO be worth it!!!

Just a touch bigger my friend. 29 inches tall: 220.

As for the silicone job, it was all luck. I am satisfied that it worked out like it did. I think I am ready to go with it. I just need to find a few guys to come help lift it and swap out tanks. I have planned to do it about 5pm Utah time and I will post pics when I am done.

Re: Doc's Shark Tank

You sure about that?You're not trying to add 10 gallons just to outdo me are you?

My 210 shares the same dimensions,72x24x29.

LMAO!!! Heaven's no my friend. I am just going by my handy-dandy tank volume calculator that I found on the internet. Technically, it is "216.93-something or other gallons", but I call it 220. I would call yours the same size and mine..... but my sump is bigger... but I still love you man!

Re: Doc's Shark Tank

According to garf.org the tank is 217 gallons. I hate to burst any bubbles, but what are the inside of the tank measurements? If the glass is a half inch thick then the inside is 71x23x28 1/2 which brings the tank to around 203 gallons.LMAO

Re: Doc's Shark Tank

Bobby is correct -- you have to measure the INSIDE of the tank, not the outside dimensions!!!:
