OK - here goes my first attempt to build a plywood setup.
My plan is to build 2 shallow plywood tanks cradled in a fame and stacked one above the other. These are to serve as hospital / growout tanks for my planned massive tank, and a practice run for me. I'm thinking of something like this:
I'd like some feedback on my frame design. The brown/grey are the heavier timbers, pink are the smaller timbers and yellow is the plywood. The set up is about 4' 6" long, 2' wide and 5' 10" high
I'm planning to use plywood and liquid rubber for sealing the tank. Acrylic for the windows.
This is how I plan to set up the frame. I was thinking of the large timbers being 7cm x 3.3cm (3" by 1.5") and the smaller ones half that size. The whole set up is glued and screwed together.
