The pictures really do not do this setup any justice, checked it out yesterday and it is coming together very nicely!
Thanks Mark, this was a concern but with all the water counter tops get I was hoping it would hold. One thing I can say is if the two glued sides touch theres no pulling them apart. Trust me I try, I had one little corner touch that I wanted to move a bit and I could move it. :eek2:

It depends what kind of adhesive you use. I have some stuff in my garage that would glue anything together for eternity
What are you using Brian?
Ian, it's wilsonart 500 professional. It has a 15 min dry time. Do you think it will hold. I assume you have don't this before with your costom car bach ground.
Thanks Scott, I be around later if you want to use the saw. I'll check on the other thing for you

Just one 26" PM? I have two....and I know the owner od PM!
When I talked to Derek at Miracles on Tues., he told me it would be done today (friday). I'm still waiting on pic to make sure everything is OK. I plan to have it shipped the week of Aug 3.
I didn't want it before that seeing how it my wife birthday next week end. I'm sure she would rather have me spend time with her and not the tank, well I hope
. Plus I still need to finish a few door, put baffle in the sump and a few other odds and ends. I lost all but one of my fish and most of my corals in the move so it would set empty for a while too.
I have about 12 guy's line up for Aug 9th to move it in. It will sit on a trailer until then. I need have it deliver to an other location because the truck can't turn around on my dead end street, so I stil have a little planning.
Ian
I <3 Corals!
Ill let you know tomorrow what the stuff I have is called. You plan to spray the satnd and the formica, let them tack up, apply the formica then use a router to trim the excess, right? If you have any questions PM me and Ill give you my #. Ive laid that stuff plenty of times...

Awesome news on the tank Brian!
I'm sorry to hear about the fish and your corals. Once my stuff grows out a bit more I can give you frags back of pieces I purchased from you.
Thanks Ian, thats about the same process I have been doing.
What I have done is apply glue to both sides, wait 5-10 min, apply laminate to surface, wait 5-10 min, and router.
I'm about done laying all the laminate and I see no reason this stuff would come undone. After finding out my neigbor has been laying laminate for some time, he believes that it should hold up. Time will tell

Sounds like you have a few things to do but putting your wife in front, smart move. I read about your fish/corals on Mark's thread and that sucks but it will give you a chance to rebuild and make this tank better.<a href=showthread.php?s=&postid=15407059#post15407059 target=_blank>Originally posted</a> by Dejavu

That's a pretty short tank... just room for a sand bed... :lol:
I know you're anxiously awaiting the next stage - (just been there, done that)
Good luck. We'll be tagging along.
