    With the piping if it was clear you could maybe make it like a water fall return? Basically look like you have water falls inside the bracings? No idea if it would be safe for fish but definitely unique.

    I'm a bit more moderate with the amount of tanks I have (mostly because of the missus) and am at 4 main tanks atm. I've built them all myself and they're all wood. The biggest one is 18 years old, 440 real gallons and houses some real nice discus fish and habitat relevant roommates. Next there is the 310 gallon lake Tanganyika aged 15 years. Another 310 gallons tank housing many many lake Malawi dwellers. Finally the current youngest tank is going almost 9 years, holds 284 gallons and houses the SE Asian waterbreathers. I am in the process of convincing the boss to realize the dinning room absolutely needs a paludarium with archers and a tropical rain forest above the water.

    • @mattdenefe5739

      That is great to hear that your tanks have lasted that long. I have had some glass builders recently try and talk me out of a plywood build saying it won't last more than a few years. What Liner did you use??

    • @delta9vdp
      @delta9vdp 3 года назад +1

      @@mattdenefe5739 I used a 2 part paint on epoxy for all tanks. Liquid rubber can also be used but is a little easier for species like Ancistrus to munch thru. I reapplied this once after the tanks moved to our new house. Until now no leaks, knocks wood.
