Today, is part four of my biggest project yet - building my 475 gallon DIY plywood aquarium! In the video, I work on waterproofing the plywood tank with more pond shield, building the external bracing, starting on the plumbing, and reinforcing the tank stand. We also get the glass delivered finally!
This is my first time building a plywood aquarium, and I'm bound to make small mistakes along the way. If you're looking for a true "how to" video, I'd look up some of the Fishtubers who have more experience with these builds. I'm confident that this tank will all work out fine, but just wanted to throw out that caveat.
