So I am going to be building a shed for a fish room. I plan to have a 360 gallon ray tank, four 40 breeders and a 55. I am still not sure what I am going to use to filter the 360. I am going to be building the shed with a barn roof because I want to have a loft to store supplies and I was thinking that I could maybe put an overhead sump in the loft. My main question is what should I use for the foundation? I still haven't decided on the final dimensions. I wanted to use pier blocks, but my dad says that we will never be able to level all of the blocks. My dad says that I should use concrete, but that sounds like a lot of work. What should I do?
 
I would use concrete. You're going to have a lot of weight and once you set it up your not going to want to have to take it down and start over. Do contrete and do it right that way you have no problems and once it's set its there for good without having to worry about anything.
 
I am just a kid.

I see. You probably are referring to the money part of my question. I was going to say if it's not a huge area and you don't know how you could hire a couple guys and have it knocked out in no time. Pull up a video on YouTube and it will show you exactly how to do it.

Lol I was busting his balls.
It's not hard to work with cement. I can do it by myself it's not hard just time consuming if not done with many people who can lend a hand.
