the new plywood angel tank

This will be the angels new home, all plywood except the 3 panes of glass of course, still need to build a small stand and top for it. I am going to remove the gas insert in the fireplace and put it there under the mantle.

Nice, would love to see a build log on this..

Wow angels in the fireplace how cool. What size is it?

This Should be an awesome tank! Please post pictures of the Build!!!!!

If I had that tank in my fireplace it would have Flame moss and Echinodorus angustifolia Vesuvius All over it hehe green fire!

Im the type that once i start i dont stop till its done, so guess what I dont have any. but I will be doing another build soon so if I can remember I will do pics as I go.

I tried doing a write up a few times and I agree when the creative juices start flowing, I put the camera down.

3 panes of glass?? What am I missing here? I would think this design would take 5 panes.

Well normally it would only be 4 panes since the back would be one piece. In this setup though he made a plywood backed tank.

Pretty much the inside is coated with epoxy resin or fiberglass. It makes it waterproof and very strong. If you look around the internet you can find tons of MDF/Plywood tanks. Very cool stuff. You can make HUGE tanks this way and only technically have to pay for one pane of glass and sides and back being wood.

About how many gallons, DW?

How long it take you to build ?

it does look nice.

looks good you sure can build.
