    It does look like a good sealing job, seams look very consistent, I think from the looks of it you did a nice job, it should hold water without any problem.

      It truly was a blast. Even if it turns into an epic fail.. I only paid 25.00 for the 150 tall. Its well worth the experience. Thank you all for posting. Now what to fill it up with... Going to drill for bulkheads. That should be real fun

            The tank held water for 2 weeks. Also just set up for internal overflow box. Drilled a couple 1 3/4" holes for bulkheads. Also drilled a 1 7/16" for return bulkhead.
            Just undecided on going with an 1800 or 2400 overflow. Its a 150 tall tank. What would you go with and why? Thanks for all the inspiration. I couldn't of come this far with out you all.

                        Can't help you w/ the overflow, never had one.
                        But I like the blue. It's done a lot, but for good reason...it tends to set off a lot of different colors and landscapes beautifully. Definitely a solid choice.

                              Update 3d background installed. Also added a 2400 gallon overflow. Picked up black diamond media and miracle grow organic.

                                Will need help with plumbing. I used dual 1" PVC tubing. Do I need a vent hole?
