PART 1 OF THE 300 GALLON Plywood FISH TANK!!! 

I stumbled across your video and am happy to see what you're doing ! Great stuff !! I just want to share a bit of my experience please. Im about to build my seventh plywood tank. I recently had a 1210g system running flawlessly for nearly 4 1/2 years. I just downsized to a 450g build for less energy and water costs. I cut all my wood so that, all machine edges come together, for tight fit. Other cuts, that I make, can be at top of tank edges where the slightest bit off doesnt play a key role. Agree with pilot holes and glue, then screwing. Ive done Pond Armor coatings with silicon added to seams as well as fiberglass edges. Both work perfectly.. On tight edges, the Pond Armor makes an excellent coating that completely fills the edges, seams, well. I also like to have my measurements in hand when purchasing my 1"furniture grade plywood. Th lumber yard can cut to exact size, the plywood your buying. Makes perfect edges that way. I sub'd to you.. Come on over to my channel and leave me a sub and comment.. Thanks

Everyone else made it look easy .. glad to see the real work..trying a build in the spring..good luck 👍

You need a 2x4 frame , that plywood will not hold the 300 gallons

Like how you want it to be right , if it means buying some thicker ply , and starting again I would do it . Respect from the UK 🇬🇧🙏.

I'd do 1" hardwood, something like birch just to be safe.. Remember, 300 gallons of water is what? Over 2000 lbs of water. Don't cheap out. When it comes to your seems or corners, I'd use fiber glass strips, then epoxy over it all, more than 5 coats. It's either that or come home and your fish are on dry land

Looks good for a first build! Next time use a table saw or a circular saw to cut the plywood for more straight cuts, and pre drill pilot holes in the side of the plywood where the screws put the tank together before gluing and screwing to avoid the cracks,

Great channel! Excited to see whats next

That ply looks very thin,Im going to do this next year but will use 18 mm ply .yours look like half inch.The joint need to be bang on or your going to have a disaster on your hands .Im not being negative just trying to help.The ply looks very cheap also .

Welcome to RU-vid mate. I've subbed and gonna be following your journey

At least your trying. I would just pay for a 400 gallon

One day I will build my own tank for monster fish but I wish you the best on your journey!! New Sub for the updates

How thick was the plywood?

part 2 ???

Red tail catfish need 1000 gallons minimum. Not 300

This is a disaster waiting to happen. Start over. Measure correctly and make straight cuts.

Can you seal a cracked tank
