...
i built a tank 34x34x24 out of plywood framed it out 2 coats of fiberglass
w/mesh then 4 coats of potable expoxy paint, runs great no leaks as of
yet,
been running for 4 or 5 months.....

some would suggest just painting the ply but the fiberglass gives a nice
strong smooth surface to work with.

A while ago I wanted to setup a pond outside, but after playing with
reef
setups and salt water I am thinking of the idea of making an outside
salt
water tank, but not the usualy glass type, I was thinking of making a
wooden frame about 3 meters x 3 meters and about 1 meter high then
sealing
it with fiberglass, then adding in the usual pumps and filtration and
putting in some live rock and some fish. It's be able to save heaps on
lighting the setup and put that money into maintaining the temprature
with
a decent chiller.

I would like to hear some feedback from people about this idea and some
possible problems I might be looking at. Or some possible good things ?

I was thinking that it might help in growing some alge on some new rocks
fast then in a normal tank too. ??
