Show off your large plywood tanks!

My dad and I are going to be completely remodeling the basement and putting in 3 large 4ftx4ftx2ft tanks. To save some money we will be using plywood with two-part epoxy as we have 2- 8ft sheets of half inch glass out in our garage. My dad got this glass for free from a bank that was being demolished. One tank will be a reef, another will be a freshwater high-tech planted (with co2 injection and MH lighting), and the third will either be a low light planted discus tank or a saltwater FOWLR (I'm leaning toward discus as I have always dreamed of keeping/breeding them).

I've researched almost every aspect of the builds from how to build the tank to the importance of ventilation as well as the basics such as plumbing, electric, and making tank maintenace as easy as possible without nuking my bank account.

Anyway, I wanted to see how some other people's plywood tanks have turned out, so post them up! :D

Thanks,

Jake
