Plywood Tanks

[Buccaneer]

Hey Jamie ... no pics for ya but I built a 300G 1" thick MDF tank lined inside and out with fiberglass ... dimensions 96Lx24Dx34H ... 31" waterline and 5/8" glass for viewing area ... 5" brace around the top and 2x2" bulkheads with overflow ... 2x closed loops at back ... all built " in-wall " in my basement with a 70G sump underneath and " soon to be installed " ( thanks Tony )
55G refugium as well ... if you plan it correctly then it is easy to do ... a 3" wide trim around the front to help support the front glass ( 45 degree bevelled edge ... look like a picture frame ) ... 3" screws every 2 " for all wood joints along with construction grade glue ... 3" x 1/2" center brace

If I had it all to do over again ( and I might ) ... I would build it 96Lx48Dx34H ( 31" H waterline ) ... 2 overflows ( 1 on each side with 2" bulkheads on each ... that way it would only have to " skim " 4 ' each into each overflow )

If you have any questions on the construction just let me know

Cheers
