In the near future I want to build my own tank. A large one at that. Something between 300 and 500 gallons. There are many ways to build a tank. You have the plywood tank, the acrylic tank, the glass tank and the tank bought and shipped from a distributer.
I know many of you guys have built your own tanks and have found pros and cons during the process. Like plywood requires a lot more materials and tools than building one from acrylic.
Could you all give some input on-
*Level of difficulty.
*average cost of complete project.
*Average lifespan of product.
*Saftey/ Strength of product.
*Which one is better than the other.
*Is it really cheaper than buying one from a distributer.
*Any pros/cons or problems that you might have ran into or expirenced.
*If you plan on building one in the future would you choose to build the same type or would you build one of the other types.
