No problem... We are glad to help. And it's easier to find something if you remember seeing it before anyway. :)

Having the right help is the most important aspect of a homebuilt tank. There are many different ways to construct one but I had help from someone who knows how to work with silicone and how to weld steel. Mine is 125 gallons, but I would be reluctant to build one larger though it is very possible to do so.
