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? |

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. |

Sorry everyone, i havent posted on here mostly due to the negativity and lack of support but ill give ya an update in any case! 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.
