been toying with idea of setting up folding frame tank like this one http://www.water-storage-tank.com/frame_tanks.html in my basement to grow out a gator gar. i was considering making a screen top and using underwater usb cams for viewing up stairs. anyone done this or is this suitable idea? my main concern is the gar riping or breaking the material. also would like filter ideas. thanks

Don't see why it couldn't last a good amount of time given its meant to hold water. Honestly I'd be more worried about the frame than the liner.

Awesome site - if that one doesn't work, they have tons of other options.

I wish they had pricing on the website - I'll have to ask them. The frame can always be made stronger using 2x6's on the outside.

I'm confident the framing designs are more than adequate. I'm sure they are not looking to get sued because the structure fail and causes property damage.
