Any ideas on building your own tank?

El__Quijote Sep 04, 2003 10:34 AM

Does anyone have any plans, or know where to get any plans on building your own plywood/glass tank?
I'm thinking of building my own tank, but need a plan to see how other people built them first, and then I can modify the plan to suit my needs.
I just don't want to build it and then find out that I didn't think of something once it is too late to rectify it.
Thanks,

~ Miguel

Hey,

Try www.garf.org

In the left-hand frame, under the "How-To Pages" there's "Aquarium Construction and Tips"

In there is LOTS of info regarding tank construction; especially using plywood with glass front. There's even an online calculator so you can input the dimensions of your desired tank (glass, acrylic, wood/glass, or wood/acrylic) and it will give you a cut list along with instructions on how to construct the beast.

Hope this helps.

Good luck to you.

Tarl
