The tank was made on 3/4 th inch PVC pipes as the floor was not level. The tank was left to cure on the floor for 7 days. The white pieces are pieces of thermacol put in place to avoid damage to the glass edges when the tank was to be lifted on to the stand in the background.

It took 8 persons to lift this tank on to the stand. The stand itself took all 8 of us to move to the pillar that you see in the photo. The stand is 3 feet tall.

Finally the tank is in place. The tank was left to completely cure on the stand for 14 days. A total of 7 days on the floor and 14 days on the stand was the total curing period given for the tank.

Tank being set up. Total calcite sand used was 300 kgs. Rocks used were 130kgs. This was a very uplifting experience indeed.
