Wow, that's a thing of beauty. Way too pretty to bury below the deck.

Just curious, Lumber -- was it made to the same dimensions as the original? Did it spec out to 60 gallons?

Pipe , you have a good eye. we had it made 2inches shorter and 1 inch narrower and like 4 inches taller its now a 61 gallon instead of 60.
we had brackets welded on the ends of the tank to refasten it back in place he used 3/8x 4 rubber glued to various parts of the tank and some 5200 here and there.Aqua Marine did the work these guys are top knotch.

LS is too embarrassed to tell everyone, but he had a gas tank hatch made out of lexan (it was only $1000 more) so you can see the tank.

No it wasn't LEXAN, it was left over CORIAN from a kitchen job
and he did the cutting himself, he really doesn't care if you see the tank.
