116 Gallon Plywood Tank

Hey, all!

I've just started building a smaller version of a plywood tank, and I thought I'd post a picture and get some feedback.

Oh, I forgot to add the dimensions. It is 40'' wide x 28'' front to back x 26'' tall.

Just a little update. I finished the front of the tank. As far as overflow and drainage, I thought about putting them in the front, directly behind the two slats to hide them. Any opinions/advice?

How are you planning on sealing the tank? Glass or Acrylic? Hiding the overflows "sounds" like a good idea but I like to be able to see what my plumbing is doing at a glance. I'd stcick with the back wall or go with overflow boxes.

Looks good. I like the idea of hiding your plumbing.

Only in public. At home, its my business.

As far as seeing what the plumbing is doing i will tell from the trickle filter
