Another Plywood Build, for my bass

[Bassinkorea]

Looks great. Seems like pretty good crasftsmanship to me. What are the dimensions and how many gallons? I like how you are building the face at an angle into the room.

Thanks. my craftsmanship is not the best, but it's good enough. I just hope the final look of the tank meets the wife's requirements.

The outside dimensions are....

Back = 1750mm / 69 inch
Front = 1900mm / 75 inch
Left side = 800mm / 31 inch
Right side = 1220mm / 48 inch
Total height = 1350mm / 53 inch
Tank height = 750mm / 30 inch

I'm not 100% sure of the gallons, but guess it will be between 250g and 300g.

At a full 30" height it works out to 360 gallons.

You've got about 12 gallons per inch of water depth.

Did you calculate that from my dimensions?? as the inside area will be significantly less as the main frame is made of 4x4's

Nice design, looks strong! What are you gonna use to seal and waterproof it?

Thanks,
I will be fully sealing the inside with fiber glass and epoxy resin before applying a gel coat.

I worked on this thing all day again today, but it was mainly the kind of work that doesn't show as progress, like fitting hundreds of 'L' brackets, drilling 100's of predrilled holes and adding the smaller supports. But now the stand part of it is finished and it weighs a ton

I was thinking I needed to add some diagonal bracing, but now think it's not nesessery at all, this thing is solid and strong.

Anyway, enough of my blabbering....photos.........

That thing will hold a truck. Anyone willing to bet chuck their truck up on it.
