Planning a different, new shape for aquariums | |
Meer Small Fry Posts: 13 Kudos: 10 Votes: 0 Registered: 17-May-2006 | As we all know that aquariums are usually found in rectangular or hex shape but I think that new cheeper aquariums could be made. One man gave me this idea and after a long work I think that plywood aquariums can be made cheeply and have more capasity than those made from only glass. If some one wants to know about my plan or wants to help me with some information please continue this forum... |

I had a friend about 30 years ago that had 3 he had made all were well over 100 gallons in size. Jim |

Garf.org has had a DIY page that details how to make a glass, acrylic, or plywood tank. Just pop in dimensions, and you're on your way to a tank. |
