Im not naysaying anything, but maybe you can post your calculations and hydros so that we can help and double check? Nothing could hurt with everyone here putting their heads together with you.

^ We have been asking, he has been reluctant, not sure why though as having another dozen sets of eyes on it could only help his cause.

Could be that his pride won't let him be proven wrong as well?

That brick support looks like it holds up the main beam in your house. Do you have plans of new teleposts? Surely that brick couldn't hold up to saltwater. Let alone leaching concerns. Will you try to wrap that too? I don't see the pillar in your hand drawn pics

Im actually doubling down on the plywood concern and covering the OSB with a layer of plywood. Im wrapping the pillar in fiberglass as well. It was easier to make the drawings without the pillar to answer your questions!

That would make an amazing set of countertops, but I would not be applying lateral load to a non jointed glue up...

I wish otherwise, but he probably underestimated the cost to build & maintain a tank of this grandure; and has realized he is way over his head. Damn, it would've been very interesting to watch the progress of this endeavor. ��

How do you calculate the outward pressure? Is it the same as the pressure straight down (rho*g*h)?

Water will exert a pressure of .43 psi for every foot of depth.
Those square inches add up quick. And before you know it, you can have hundreds of pounds trying to blow out the walls of your aquarium.

If the fraud level is large enough they won't initially tell you they are denying the claim. They will start to gather evidence of the fraud. Like the square on the floor where there used to be a tank. Evidence of a large aquarium will be all over your house, from RO units, salt buckets, testing equipment etc etc. Then they'll subpoena the electric company for your historical usage and compare it with your new usage and see that there was a major drop in usage right at the time of the loss. They will also get your credit card history and banking info and see you buying all this stuff that isn't there.

Then they'll send you a letter asking you to verify all your claims, sign it and mail it back. Once you do that you have risen to the level of mail fraud. So they take the Insurance Fraud and combine it with the Mail Fraud and take you to court with a possible 10-25 year sentence and some large fines.
It was a joke........ Hopefully like this thread......

I had to finish my kitchen first so this project got pushed back but now its my main project. Im halfway through fiberglassing at this point and everything is going great! I did underestimate how much resin i would need so im just waiting to finish the window panels and brick support.
