Re: Plywood tanks

this has me thinking about making one. i want a big tank but don't have a lot of room where it can go. this could give a person a lot of options. since i only have about 5 feet to work with. the wife might hate me.

Mine already hate me.Not even had my 75 a year yet and I'm trying to talk her into letting me build a den with a poured concrete slad floor.That way I'd have room for a something over 200 gallons in the wall.

Re: Plywood tanks

Yote you should have just told her it would be a special room in the house for the two of you to spend time together, only after it was built then tell her the extra time would be watching your new enormous fish sactuary.

Re: Plywood tanks

Ryan,If I told her something like that,she'd have me committed to a mental hospital in a straight jacket.
But I might give it try anyhow.

Re: Plywood tanks

Or if you have school age children it could be a library/study room a nice quiet comfortable place for them to do there school work and such, I have too much schemeing time on my hands lately, just give her enough of the picture to fall in love with the idea before you show her what an onion it is,

Re: Plywood tanks

Gonna tell her she can have the wall space to hang pictures.Then get my mounts up before she can hang em.

Actually we've talked about it fairlly seriously.And will probably go for it next spring after her van and my truck are paid off.
That'll give me time to put back what I get in OT for the project.
