My 315G Plywood Tank Build

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
Knock on wood I have never had a blow out, I did overflow my 75 the first time I filled it. :wall: The ply build is my first foray into the "large" tank world, and hope I do not have any problems. Her patience with my hobbies is one of many reasons I married her, and hopfully this will not test that patience.

Good luck with the repairs.

I hope to marry a woman who wants to take care of my planted tanks and is not afraid to clean my reefs while being okay with 100-1000 gallon tanks all over the house.

It will just give him time to work on the next tank! Let's face it, we are all about our "next" tank!

that is so true. while we build this tank. we are thinking if this goes well. in a few years im gonna build a tank 3 times as large.

Also, do you have pictures of plumping? I was wondering how you were gonna plumb it through the stand, if you plumb it in the wall

I was going to keep the plumbing in the walls but the 1.5" elbows and such where just too big. I have everything going out the back wall of the tank right now and my guess is that's where it's going to stay. I dont have any picks of that but I will get some when I pull the tank away from the wall for the test fill.
 
i cant see clearly, is your tank framed with 2x4 or 2x6?
