Where did you mount your drains and returns also what size drains and returns and how many?

also how to tall is your stand? I am thinking of doing 18 inches for mine so that the ray could be more visible based on the viewing angle

By no means am I against plywood tanks I just personally wouldn't make one unless it was 1000 gallons plus bc in that case u won't be moving it

As far as these tanks breaking they are very durable you would literally have to drop it multiple feet in the air for it to crack in which case it might not even do that.



My guess would be a plywood tank of this size done well would be around $1000 .....my guess would be around 500-600 lbs empty

10x4x2 plywood pond under $500 but no viewing window

10x4x2 plywood pond under $500 but no viewing window

That's useless as a tank then might as well just buy a big stock tank....you can get a 8 x 2 foot cylinder stock tank from tractor supply for $350....already has a drain

I only have one hole drilled and that's for a drip system

18 is too low...I went with 24....I recommend 24-30 inches for the best viewing height of the whole tank (top and bottom dwellers)

I like it. How much did it cost? Plywoods are basically 1000.00 when built properly

plywood of that size with the amount of pond armour its like 1300. its like 1600 shipped i believe. its definitely worth it. just wished it wasnt blue. but definitely thinking of getting one myself when i start clearing my debt xD. How did you get it through the door to your basement? the tank itself is 30 inches... most standard doors are 29 inches (with the door off the hinges).... this is what is stopping me from getting one lol.

Wow that's expensive, with that amount of money you have so many more options.
