Some pics around my fishroom

[Rex82]

Hi simply,
Haven't been on this site for awhile as I had a break for a couple years.
Last year I decided to build a small fishroom with the space I had available.
Thanks for looking 👍🏼

This isn't as easy as I thought on an iphone

Some more coming

Interesting plywood aquariums! Did you make them any particular way or just a wood box coated in a epoxy with a glass panel?

I'd love to see pics of the tank assembly if you have them. I love a good DIY project and I haven't ever seen Plywood tanks like this. Very cool.

They're done no particular way, just plywood coated in epoxy and glass panel that fits into routed rebate as you said so nothing special. I'll post some more pics shortly 😊

Hi al,
Thanks for the feedback, I do have some build pics I'll chase down and post soon. It is something different, people find it amusing that I'm a glazier by trade and all my tanks are built with timber lol

Please do I do some wood work my self and always look for cheap tank ideas. What epoxy did you use? The only stuff I know of is pond armor and that is expensive.

What brand of epoxy did you use to coat the plywood? And did you do anything special for the seams? I recently cracked the back panel of a 40 gallon aquarium and replaced it with plywood that extended another few inches converting it to a 50 some gallon.

Watched some youtube videos on this, and coating the seams with fiber glass was a nightmare, not sure if was even needed for my case.

I used west systems epoxy as the sealer, it's definitely not the cheapest way to build tanks but the effect is great and they're light enough I can move myself if I need to move house etc

Some more to come

I probably have more somewhere but this will do for now

i looked at this thread before falling asleep and dreamt of killer fish rooms all night, walls and walls of tanks, thousands of exotic fish. and someone released their pet oscars into the local lake and they had bred like crazy, so when i went swimming there were hundreds of them cruising around with me. and i had an 8 foot long fire eel which could swim thru the air like it was water. maybe i should cut back on my internetting lol, keep sharing pics of ur fish room, im loving it!

From what you just explained maybe it's not the Internetting more than it is the acid trips ��
Thanks for following ��
