I have a build design idea. im interested in trying out, i just dont have the space, im supposed to be getting a tank built shortly. just my shape is a pentagon would be two plywood sides and 3 glass/plex joined on a angle, which is my only concern. but really tempting to try to make it now. but looking to see if anyone in my area is interested in trying out this idea, on a more basic design.
the design is easy if works and could be ordered and shiped, as you cant purchase my steel studs at home depot, ours are structual and you could build it yourself.
i frame custom steel homes, conventionaly framed. i can have all pieces pre-cut and shipped. with the design, and instructions.
would be alot better than using wood, way lighter and alot less material and more solid, as wood shrinks, expands, and does not hold solid, even when screwed together, can shift. and what i feel is causing alot of the leak problems. people are having. with there monster builds.
its a idea. i would like to play with. and hopefuly could help with future builds. kudo's to everyone who has made there own tanks. been inspiring reading about everyones adventures.
so if anyone in the Toronto, Ontario area. pm me if interested.
and ill keep posted on my progress. going to try a small mock up design during the next few weeks at work. and see what i can do with the waterproofing process. i have alot of connections. ill see what i can try to come up with and maybe help with other peoples problems they are having. i think i even have a solution for the corners where people are having problems and using fiberglass to try to fix. but i have no experience and going to see where my flaws in my ideas are.
here are some pics of how i frame houses, and the product i would be using.
aswell as my design could be fully insulated to help keep heat with within reducing heating costs.
let the adventure begin
