You can get regular cheap fish tanks for around $8.00 - $50.00 now.
It would be a lot safer and a lot more reliable.

+1 for creativity
That tank would be very nicely insulated for the inhabitants

Oh dear god. As mentioned before, That will probably explode right quick, lol. But ingenous I guess sorta :P

But its much easier to buy a 'clear plastic bin' like another video suggests... cause that will work, and I did it once out of necessity! Haha.

I cant joke about duct tape..... Red Green has done just about everything possible with it. Mythbusters built a boat out of it! Truely, the Handymans Secret Weapon. Saying that though im afraid to google it because im almost positive I will get more then one DIY Duct Tape Tank....
