300 Gallon Custom Plywood Aquarium 

Thanks for watching. I hope all is well when you get your ears checked out at the doc. Good luck.

Thank you and thanks for watching

hahahahah funny guy. I love my local ones for fresh ecosystem accessories

If it's too loud, you're too old

@@dustintheriverratvolume isn’t the issue. Bad music sounds best when muted! 🥲

I got the glass from a restaurant my company bought. I got a ton of free glass there and designed this tank based on what I recovered. These panes are tempered and almost 1/4" thick. You can also buy similar pieces online for about $90 each if you're wealthy enough.

Thank you

Here is the link for the song: freesound.org/people/BaDoink/sounds/532359/ Listen to BaDoink, Great music (I had the name wrong I guess) The glass seems to be about 1/4" but is second hand so I'm not exactly sure.

Thanks for trying to watch. I appreciate the attempt. It def ain't for everyone. Have a good one.

The tank is doing well. I've had it going for almost a year now. Plywood is definitely the best thing for space and cost. I wish I could build another. Thank you for watching.

Yes. Both the epoxy and silicone are aquarium safe. The epoxy is typically used for koi ponds and the silicone is specifically for aquariums. This epoxy was the only one i could find that claimed silicone would seal to it. I haven't had any issues and recommend both products.

It is closer to 350, but it is shallow so it looks bigger

This was a pretty cheap build overall at less than $300. I based the design off the glass I recovered for free and snagged most of the wood for free as well. The hardware, paint, epoxy, etc. was to blame for the cost. I'm very happy with the end result but it took me a long while to throw it together. Thanks for watching.

@@dustintheriverratwow!!

Ahhh. So you're one of those black water haters? I better get a salt water tank and clean it daily. Salt life bro!

deep substrate either way

No, but I can answer any questions you may have. Check out Trafish Aquatics as he does similar in greater detail.

You're obviously not a fish. They love the cover and the natural wood filtration. I added an 8 foot shop light from the ceiling and the tank looks even better. Awesome view from any side. My tank is bigger than yours.

@@dustintheriverrat lol while your tank is bigger than mine at the moment mine will be bigger than yours. I’m in the process of a 500 gallon after Christmas. But I still won’t put trees in it. If I wanted a murky moat I’d build a pond in the back yard.

@haterbro Good luck on your project. Send me a pic of the finished piece after you reclaim the materials and design and build a unique ecosystem. It only takes about a year once you have everything in hand. I can't wait to see your pristine set up. Let me know if you have any questions once you get going.

@@dustintheriverrat you gotta learn to have a thick skin for YT comments and not respond back like some middle school girl. Some day you’ll have to grow up.

They are small by themselves but together these braces can support an Elephant. A gallon of water weighs 8.34 lbs. That's only around 2,500 lbs. total.

@@dustintheriverrat First I thank you for your response. Your fish tank is very beautiful. I want to make one, but in my country, the wooden fish tank is almost never done, and is very primitive. There are very few references available

​@@buihoainam6196the only reference anyone who is serious needs is in your hand! You also didn't mention where you are from? Any who, by a lot of people who live in a lot of different Countries that are also on RU-vid figured out how to get the materials and the rest I have to assume that someone is usually interested in having something interesting and they are typically successful in the end . Looks like you can get a bunch of things to do the construction. Everything has a price and it looks like the options are going to be very good quality and costs more up front , but it has been very well documented and I think it's better to do it for the future than try to cut the corners just to save whatever currency in your.... doesn't matter but the bible says cheap ain't good , and good ain't cheap . Primitive is exactly what you came across in your comment and I don't care either way , people have been enjoying luxury for a long time , wood is a renewable material depending on the obvious , but we are not so get busy building or get busy doing whatever it is. Lol 😊
