    I am looking to build a tank anywhere from 200 to 500 gallons, it will be freshwater and kept in the garage of the house I am going to be moving into in a month. I was wondering if anyone has any advice or experience with something like this? Also, if you have any blueprints from a simiar build I would love to see them.

    Hey unc...I know this is an old thread. I just recently found this site so doing some reading around. As for building your tank, I too am getting ready to build a large tank (10' 250g+). Look over on MonsterFishKeepers.com in their DIY section. Many people have already constructed plywood tanks. I got a wealth of information from them.

    I would also check other sites. There are a lot of people building their own plywood tanks. Try googling DIY tanks.
