diy birthday present to myself

[Dr Joe]

so if i understand this right, it's corrugated plastic sheets right? the same that people write on and hang on telephone poles saying "will buy your house" etc right?

it's heat welded to hold water, but the metal around the outside holds the shape and keeps the water weight in check right?

is this a realistic DIY job for a casual mfker?

Does johptc look like anything but a casual fishkeeper?

.

Oh, that makes more sense. So all stainless steel metal will not rust?

For arguments sake, only the High grade stuff. Cheap/low grade SS will pit and rust faster.

Being a somewhat new aquarist, I have to ask, won't the metal screws in the tank eventually rust? That has always been on my mind.

they are type 316 stainless steel..... will even do pretty well in salt water
