Zfishies 500g Shark Pond Build

[Zfishies]

Well some pics to start off just bought the wood. Dimensions will be 8x6x3. The wood itself is 5.5' tall. I plan on jointing the corners with metal braces. And the join them on top of eachother i will using stright braces to clamp them tight together(dont know the proper def. for the type of brace). 24x wood all together. wish me luck





errr kinda bumped into some stuff

Make sure you get the proper hangars and screws for pressure treated wood. I would also wear gloves when working with that stuff.

I'd put down a tarp or something of that sort before the liner as well to keep the wood from puncturing the liner

will do !!!

Well, you're off to a good start. Just don't forget to use rust proof deck screws because the chemical in the treated lumber will eat away regular screws overtime. And I agree with the gloves. Good luck!

thanks for the encourgement=] didnt know about that tho!! will do!!! i havnt used gloves yet but i will i already got some nice scrtaches/mini splinters from just loading and un loading it. am waiting for my mom to take me to home depo, she was kind of busy today (to get the nails and braces). but its 90F right now and humid as anything so i just might stack them together today

Uhhhh, I think 730 gallons is way off also. My 480g tank has 2ft less width and 1ft less height. Keep up the good work

 

[brich999]

I got over 1000g by my math
