I just got a bunch of space for tanks, so I need to fill it. I found 4'x16' fiberglass troughs but haven't located where to buy them from. Do they have poly tanks close to this size? Would it be better to just build them out of plywood? I need 6 of them. Thanks.

People are making tanks out of PVC sheets, yes sheets. Next prop project I will do it this way. Light material and easy construction. Put together and its done unlike plywood. Also cheap. I'm 1000% fine with look down only. Plus I will color code my sections probably. Red for sps ie danger.

I just got a 75 gal Tuff Stuff black poly trough (16 inches high; used for koi, horse feeding, etc) for about $150 I think. I love the look-down concept, plus it's a dirt cheap way to transfer things out of my cracked 90 tall.
