That's interesting and thank you for your post Scott. I understand what you are saying, and have no problem waiting 2 months for it to cure. My tank is in-wall and I have no problem with the strapping as I hide all edges behind the wall anyway.

But would I really need the 795 all the way around?

Wouldn't it be better to build the tank out of acrylic with an open front like a euro-brace, and then use 795 to bond the glass pane to the bracing from the inside? My current tank has the top and bottom 3" and 6" of each end hidden behind the wall.

About the Rhino lining: It has been my impression that it does not coat very evenly. That it would be somewhat lumpy and therefore create pressure points. Am I getting that wrong? I read one thread where a guy had his stand coated with it, and then it created pressure points and they had to shim it all over the place.

Couldn't 316 be used just as well, or a good quality powder coat?
