Captin Posted January 12, 2010 Share Posted January 12, 2010 I am in the process of finishing mine now. Got alot of ideas from here and the internet and went from there. Most tanks i saw would cost around the $350+ mark from retailers. When its finished, tried and tested i will put up a full report. Its not exactly the best looking one out there but the way its been put together is pretty good, even to the point it should function as a deck wash as well. Stay posted.

You will need a bilge to go with that one though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
