How many gallons?

How many gallons?
RC says:
Using the following inside tank parameters
Tank Length = 120 inches
Tank Width = 25 inches
Tank Height = 41 inches
Tank volume is calculated as
Tank Volume = 532.5 Gallons

The curved corner is going to cut into the total,
so lets just say approximately 500G

Someone get this so I can set up a campfire right in front of it and cop a squat in your house until you call the police to have me escorted of the premises.

even better...... you can design/construct your sub walls accordingly.

The front side of the tank has a drywall wall built to the shape of the tank & trimmed out with black plastic laminate and the back side was covered with a plastic laminate cover. It would look great built into a wall in someone's house, with the back side in an equipment closet. Or setup in a wall as room divider.

The acrylic on the sides is 1-1/4" thick & the top & bottom is 1" thick. The tank was custom made for the existing office display application.

Stopped by MGM plastics, they said about $600 to polish the front to like new. Very happy about that.
Made it home safe.

Thank you Rick.


You work there Kamil?

Great pictures Rudy, glad we where able to get the tank out in one piece.


Sure do. Too bad I missed it. :(
Glad everything worked out.
Darn, to bad you didn't get to check out the the tank. Now you will have to drive up to Rudy's house to see the tank. Maybe you can help to get that baby thru the front door.
