building a tank for aquascape

[dirtbikerider]

i am in guernsey channel islands. the problem is the airport is so small they have to go to uk first as a large plane can not land on the runway

Ah, now I see. Yeah that would make things a little more difficult

just thought i would show you a pic of some of the filtration that will be going in the tank

Very nice Ive done many DIY tanks my most recent is 60' inch long, 20' inch wide by 25' inch tall all glass. I never thought of using fiber glass though.

For me i think fiberglass is a cheap way of ensure a large plywood tank.. I think that many of the plywood tanks that has gone leek would be intakt if they used fiberglass, its superstrong, and will hold the overlaps of plates and corners exeptionaly good together..No stretching. For myselfe i think i maybe would have used fiberglass all over the tank, just to be sure, its a cheap ensuranse.. If i havent missunderstood very bad, fiberglass keeps water itselfe..Double safe.

if done right you cant go wrong with fibre glass.

some more work on the tank has bin done. i made a start on the walls on the inside they have bin done out of granite. i have left gaps for small fish to hide and aswell as gaps for some of the plants. i have also ordered the acrylic sheet for my window. 7ft x4ft x 25mm should be with me in the next week

G'day Matt.

Interesting build, definantly keeping a close eye on this, keen to see how this turns out.

Also, I was wondering are you Matt Clark from PFK at all?
