I am aquascaping my new 500 gallon DIY plywood aquarium! In the video, I finish waterproofing the plywood tank with more pond shield, finishing the plumbing of the sump and pumps, revealing the stocking list for this tank, and of course aquascaping the aquarium! I've hit a few bumps in the road during this plywood fish tank build, but we're still tracking towards a completed aquarium soon, and I can't wait for that in the next video.
This is my first time building a plywood aquarium, and I'm bound to make small mistakes along the way. If you're looking for a true "how to" video, I'd look up some of the Fishtubers who have more experience with these builds. I'm confident that this tank will all work out fine, but just wanted to throw out that caveat.
