How are your tanks so big.... where do you keep them?
Do you have a fish room... or do you run an aquatics shop...?
Tell us more.

Re: My new mbu
I do not run an aquatic shop but I have worked in a couple owned by friends of mine.Five of the ten tanks I'm currently running are home made.They are wood tanks with glass fronts.They were built inside my walkout basement/fishroom.They are here to stay as they are to big to remove without removing the sliding glass door frame.Here is a picture of one and filter.t1gerbee wrote:that's mad!

Re: My new mbu
I don't get it--wood? Wouldn't it saturate with water & leak?

PP, the tanks are sealed with waterproof epoxy.oldfish wrote:They are sealed with a two part epoxy paint.spoot wrote:Awesome plywood tanks! Are they epoxy and fiberglass?
oldfish, which brand did you use? Did you silicone the joints after the epoxy or did you use another method? How about glass installation? Just silicone?
