Plywood tanks
While just going through my usual wanderings I came across some really cool plywood tank thread, so I hope enjoys them as much as I have.

Re: Plywood tanks
damn that makes me want to upgrade from my 46 to a 4600. I wonder how much the grand total of that came too. It was pretty impressive for both tanks. I guess it would help if you have some experience in building things first.

Re: Plywood tanks
The lumber wouldnt really cost that much glass and all of the hardware, plumbing and such would be where the cost is. I gotta try and see if I can drum up some pics of my buddies dads tank. dont know what size it was but it was huge he had 18k into having it built and stocked. It was all automated but feeding. Had to have an entire room for all of the plumbing and other equiptment it was an in wall set up. Hes in Cali for a funeral for the week but when he gets home Ill see what I can produce.

Re: Plywood tanks
That would be great. I can't believe it but I seriously thinking of doing something like this when I buy a permanent house. Hopefully I will make more money by then.

Re: Plywood tanks
Throw a few bucks into a tank account every payday then you'll have the money when your ready. Think of it as a investment.

Re: Plywood tanks
Yeah like a 401k for your fishies. You could probably build that tank(tank itself) for well under 1000 plumbing and gear now thats a whole other story.
