Big tank- step by step

[frank]

Here it comes folks, a step by step guide on how to build a large tank, from the ground up the frank way. Please be aware that the ideas and suggestions that follow are things that I have found to work for me, they are not intended to be gospel, as is always the case there are many other viable and workable solutions to any given situation. Much of what is to follow could be described as common sense and anyone that has a large tank system would probably aggree, however much can be taken from someone that has done it, you can gleen only so much from books etc, nothing beats figuring it out for yourself, screw it up then do it again, a great way to learn. Please feel free to comment along the way, I will take absolutely no offense to being told that I have done something wrong or made unecessary work for my self by doing it the hard way, and at the other end of the scale I will be delighted if some of my simple ideas make it into some one elses set up. I will include photos at appropriate points especially where an explanation in words could make volumes. I hope that the following installments, probably over a week or two, as time permits me to write, are found to be of interest and of use to some of you. STAY TUNED, a picture of my tank and a brief overview will follow soon. FRANK. :

As we hang here dangling in suspense awaiting the next instalment, all I can say is, "as a tank builder myself I am looking forward to seeing your project."

Great to have you here Frank. Our last "BIG TANK" posts were from Warren.... (see this section)

All my efforts were all glass, with 5 and 6 footers being the biggest, plus a 4x4x4 out of wood, so you may inspire a few of us quite soon.

Keep on posting.... we can never get enough DIY

Regards,
