150 frag Tank

Here is my new frag tank
This was done on the cheap
Its 72" long 24" wide 20" deep.
Somewhere around 150 gallons.
it took a sheet and a 1/2 of 1/2inch plywood
The framing under is 1x3.
The liner is 40 mil I got off e-bay.
Total cost less then $50.00


The tank is doing the drip and shake down test.
Its been set up for 3 days now.
No problems so far.

I guess you could figure something out.

The plus side to a tank like this is that you an build it to what ever
size or shape you need.
It simple to build.

You can plumb bulkheads through liners. They do it in pond construction all of the time. Especiall with the plywood yo secure on the outside.

Thanks Jerryz for sharing that helpful information...I am not a liner fan, but if I ever tried a pond, I may use one.
