I finally drew my plans to build a plywood tank, I will post my plans soon, But it will be 8'L x 4'W x 3'H come out to be around 700 gallons. Construction will begin in a week or two and hopefully I will get this project complete in a few months. I plan to stock it with 1 RTC, 1 TSN, 1 Silver aro, and a mixture of peacock bass. Any input and opinions would be great.
