That's funny.

Ask Tyler. I think he IS a chemist.

I limit the spew of my BS to subjects like electronics.

As Matt said, Art has had his external KayaTank deal for a Long time and as far as I know it has had no problems.

I have observed no breakdown of these tanks and I have had a few sitting in the sun for the past 3 years.

Actually, Matt, your tank was number 3 :-) I just havn't paddled the trident in months. Rockin the X-Factor for the bugs

My tank has been sitting out back for a few weeks and I noticed the vinyl glue on the outside of the tank yellowed pretty good. But I was pretty messy with it. I think I made CJ's tank a little neater and I also havn't noticed any major yellow stains on his. The tank is holding together pretty awesome though. And even if the sun exposed glue "comes apart", the inside of your tank is out of sunlight and will keep youor tank together and leak free. The cool thing is the tanks neatness is more important that its unleakability because if a corner drips a little bit, your a little safer than the internal version obviously.

Hey matt, the wiring looks really good on your boat, who did it?

Some slack jaw, hillbilly, teenager who has only ever caught one fish in LJ with a cute mom wired it for me

Nice job Brett, the tank hasn't had an issue yet!!

Just because of his post on my Classifieds post....

Id like to point out it wasn't even a real fish, it was a shark.

That is all
