Planning on building something similar but... outside. I will use all treated materials and paint everything too. I might make it double skinned with insulation as well. Where I live in South East Queensland, Australia, it gets down to single digits on the Celsius scale but that's about it. Undecided on which method I'll use to seal it at this point. It will be 8' x 4' x 4'. The glass size will depend on what I can pick up second hand. Also undecided.... what fish I will put in it. Probably just Australian natives.

I see a lot of "monster" tanks (if you can call them that lol) be built like this but never any smaller tanks. I want to make a LOT of 6'×3'×2'H and 8'×2'×~14"H nobody makes the smaller ones out of fiberglass and the 6' ones are 1200 without freight shipping. So question is do you think making "smaller" tanks this way is economical compared to buying fiberglass tanks or building glass/acrylic tanks?

Hey Mark I bought sheets of fiberglass at lowes I forget the brand and details but it was the only one they had. I just the sheet into 6 inch strips and it wasn't all that easy but that fiberglass was perfect for what I was doing with the 1100. I could probably do that again here but I'd rather do full boat fiberglass with resin and gel coat

I would highly recommend having something more, traditionally, soothing/relaxing on in the background IF you think you need to have background music.. The music is just such a stark contrast to peaceful aquariums.. I would have muted, but I wanted to hear the commentary. Either way, cool video and great setup. Thanks for sharing!
