CHEERS DREW

Here is a few links. First is for Garf's site which if you enter the dimmensions it gives you a cutting list for the varoius size pieces you need for any tank of most materials.

Also full biulding instructions.

I am in the process of building an approx. 150 gal. tank according to garf.org directions except I may seal it differently. I don't have pictures for anyone so I can't help in that regard. Right now the plywood is all together and all the joints and any defects are filled with marine bondo. I also have 2 windows cut out for the front instead of 1 so I can save money on the plexi. I'm taking my time with it because its the first one i've built. i'll let you know how it goes and hopefully will get some money for a camera soon so I can show some photos.

search the internet and you will find plenty of info on building all sorts of tanks.

yeah im intrested in building a plywood one as i was thinking on doing a few windows at the front and not one full single. somthing a bit of modern deisgn i had a liitle look at garfs befor very helpfull sit was just wondering if you lot had done it befor and how it turned out in the end
ive read there good and alot easier than full glass
whats your veiws on plywood tanks

Well I did a final sanding of the plywood tank. In the next few days I will start to seal it. I've decided to go with Drylock which I got at the home depot. I read in one forum where a guy used it straight on his plywood DIY tank and it lasted a year. He didn't use it after a year because he had built a bigger one but it had not leaked at all. My tank does not have to last forever so I am going to give the drylock a go and see how well it works. It does say it is safe for fish on the product, that I made sure of.
sorry no pics but I can't afford a camera right now
