I've been thinking about building a plywood tank. Before I take the big jump into a big tank I wanted to try my hand at a small tank. I already have a 1.5 quart kit of pond armor. I have an old 75g tank that I'm not using, 1/4" glass. Wouldn't care if I broke it down and cut down the size a little bit. I was wondering what size of plywood tank could I build with that size glass. Was thinking maybe 48"x18"x16", if the glass thickness will work. Any help is appreciated and thank you in advance.

would think 1/2" would be fine, I really don't see the point to build a small test tank, it really is not something you need to practice if you do your research and ask questions. I would save what you have and build the tank you want, I built a 600 with pond shield and thought it was not that difficult but I do have a good amount of expierence. What size tank do you want to build
That's what I was thinking. Just go for the jack pot lol. I thinking somewhere right around 300-500 gallons, depending on the dimensions I decide on
I'm going to be building my first plywood tank here soon. I've done a lot of research on it. While I'm a bit nervous I have no doubt I'll get the job done. Go big!
Good luck with yours. Im starting to lean towards using max acr and tint it black. How big is yours gonna be?
Just food for thought here. Why don't you look at building a glass tank. For a bit more money then a plywood tank you can build a 8x4x2 all glass 1/2 inch euro brace tank. Which wod be 475 gallon also with an all glass tank you have some resale value if you ever decide to sell it
I trust myself more with plywood and epoxy then I do building an all glass tank. I also only need 1 viewing window also.
