I can't fit a tank wider then 2ft into my house because of access issues so having to build on site, gonna go with a ply wood build with only front panel as glass and the rest will be similar blue print to others who have built these tanks previously on MFK OR I'm contemplating going for a brick build with brick back and sides etc and again only glass being at front viewing panel.

What would you guys go for? In terms of difficulty wood or brick will be similar workload for me. But what would last longer and be less likely to ever leak etc? I know avoiding leak is down to the sealing and expoxy side etc, but even if done right they have a time limit before the wood or concrete would "go off" or "bad" I assume?


Size wise it's going to be 8x3x3 and I'm planning on using 15mm glass.

Would appreciate some input from some of you more experienced guys:naughty:

Thanks in advance
