OK bare with me there are a lot of people to respond to, and I appologize if I miss anyone.
Thanks, and I hope that it will all be worth it after it's up and running.
Cool glad to see the interest!
Thanks with me doing most of the work I'll need it!
Why do I have to be the picture freak?
JK, if you don't get going on your tank soon you might have to send me some of your cats!
I'll try, and thanks
Yeah, I'm trying to make it a beast!
Hopefully this will inspire someone out there to realize that you don't have to be rich to make a mega tank for their catfish! MCL unite!
Too much stuff. I have to go in 4 days this week for training starting at 0545 in the a.m.
Me too, thanks!
Love you too.........I think!! Are you blonde, 5' 7", wearing pig tails, a school girl outfit, and 6" heels?
lol, JK
You're like the third person on here to give me that title! All catfish bow before me!!!!!
if you read the entire thread you will realize that I am building this. It's no where near complete. The section in the pics like basslover said is just one side of the tank. It's about 1/4 of the way through the skeleton. I am working from the left to the right adding 1 board at a time. Sorry for any confusion
Sweet!
Yeah they are going to be around 4" thick still lol. When it's finished I think I'll build a ramp on the side and park my sherman tank on it.
Shooting for the end of October, but funding is an issue for the glass, so who knows! I could get everything done, and have to save up for the glass, and that could take a while!
I've struggled with this idea also. Some of the econo studs look really cool and would look even cooler clear coated. Problem is that I am sheeting the inside and outside for extra stability, and the only thing I can think of to negate doing the outside would be making it double thick ply on the inside. I know it would only take away less than an inch of space, but I am trying to leave the inside measurements as large as possible, and I just will sleep safer if the outside is also sheeted in plywood. I am also going to build a mural on the wall behind it to showcase it's construction. So the craftsmanship will not be lost due to it being covered. I have you to thank for that idea!
Yeah, I am doing this and in the future will be adding two 200 lbs capacity biowheels if needed. Not sure how to figure up the capacity for a filter, but I should have around 250 gals of pot scrubbies in this bad boy! Not at first of course, but will buy and add them over time! That's the price of not having money to spend on this lol.
It's actually a picture of my False tig that I cropped and pasted onto the back of the tank in google sketchup. I love that program. I did the full build board by board on this program so that I could get an exact estimate on what I still need for materials. Good luck on your pond!
Thanks!!
Yeah I know, but it will all be worth it. I take great pride in anything I do myself. I hope I don't let everyone down on this build, but I am super excited to get back to work!
That's cool! I am going out to work some more and will try to post some pics up later of any progress! I know you guys have been waiting for 5 days on an update so I'll see ya later!

I like your construction technique. I've always kind of figured the standard would be a house-like framing skeleton with plywood skin, but this incorporates some structure along with the skin, so your walls don't wind up 6" thick.
Oh and Chompers buddy... Watts per hour?
Yeah they are going to be around 4" thick still lol. When it's finished I think I'll build a ramp on the side and park my sherman tank on it.
