Got the tank out, it has a concerning amount of pitting from sitting in the waterlogged and rotten compartment it lived in. I’ll have to make a new one, going to shorten it length wise from 93” down to 70” and mount it all the way forward. This will bring capacity from 70 gallons down to just under 53.
The fiberglass encapsulated wood under the tank was all rotten, cut it all out. Will be replacing with just fiberglass slats and 5200 bonded strips of starboard on the bottom of the tank for it to sit on. Should help it breathe and not trap moisture against it. At this point going to shift back over to the floors now that I have some access to some foam underneath them that was causing a noticeable high spot.
