Got a rock pool under way
pretty basic construction
base and sides 15mm ply, marine grade
used a full sheet for base, with a cut out to give it a little more shape than a rectangle
glued and screwed together
couldn't afford f/glass so 3 layers of .4mm polythene over
2.4 M x 1,6 M x 400mm deep
left side is a 3 foot viewing tank
wet dry sump and DSB below
made a polystyrene background for it
sorry blurry pic of it
some of the pieces waiting for their new home
