@@OffTheDeepEndAquatics 2!!! Dude thats toooo much, you can’t put anything in that tiny tank😠 Hahaha nooo but this was an amazing project, I wanna do the same😍
Nice job buddy I have been watching this build since the beginning. I am a union carpenter of 20 years it just goes to show you anything you put your mind to as possible once again good job
Nice work mate, amazing that it only cost $2,500, I couldn't even begin to imagine how much it would cost if you got someone to build it, would have to be in $20,000's with the amount of labor required at the very minimum. looking forward to seeing the sump video
Thanks. I was hoping for 5 yrs. Going on 2 yrs now and although it hasn't leaked, it does need work. I plan to break it down and make some improvements that will hopefully make it last 10yrs
@@MultiTankAddiction i know I’ll have one before too much longer. Just got to remodel the kitchen first for the wife. I’m ready to see yours being built.
Nice build my tank I’m upgrading to is a 1800 or so gallon Is that acrylic or glass panels ? My current tank i built is glass and most likely going with glass on my upgrade because it’s easier to seal. If it’s acrylic how you end up sealing it in the end ? If it’s glass what thickness you went with ?
So I want to learn to professional make acrylic/glass aquariums from scratch but dont have a clue.is there a book, class or sometype of website that can teach me this???
Is there a specific resin that is safe to use with the fiber glass as far as the fish are concerned? And what did you paint over it with? Trying to build my own and want to be as safe for the fish as possible
I always dreamed of having two tanks, even bigger than that, one with 3-4 full size Muskies and the other, a salt tank, with 3-4 full size Great Barracuda.
@@OffTheDeepEndAquatics that 4" at the perimeter, who know what in the middle. Is it attached to the exterior wall block or just poured to it. Is there any pipes running through it. What size is the rebar. How much stone and size is underneath. Do you have a perimeter drain or a sump pump? I ask because I used to build homes and they cut corners where ever it's not seen. Standard concrete is 3000psi. with rebar. My 150gal. cracked the floor of my apartment the second day it was filled and dropped 1". You said your weakest point was the glass, that floor shifts and it's gone. It does look great, saw the other videos. Did a 12' octagonal, 16' tall on 4' or concrete with 1" rebar wesh under it. Left it cure for 3 months before construction.
If your 150 broke the floor you've got big issues dude. You shouldn't even have a family gathering lol. Probably an older house or has some type of drainage issues. That's not a lot of weight from a 150. I don't know the exact specs of how the house was built but it's fairly new construction. The weight is distributed over 60sf on the 1100 and approximately 70sf for the 1500. Its really not that much weight when u break it down. Even if they cut corners I had no doubt that it would be fine. We even had a decent size earthquake recently without any problems.
Hey man in this video I did a cost break down I guess you didn't watch it all and if u search my channel I did another video on how much they cost to build.
Good job, one of the best videos about the construction of a plywood aquarium. What interests me is the size of the glass windows: the thickness you said in the video, but I am interested in the dimensions of the sides because I plan to make a similar one (maybe a little smaller by 500 gallons) and the big problem for me is the price of the glass that was recommended to me by specialists (trilaminate from 12 mm sheets with two from tempered sheets) the price is exorbitant and if you can save something of that amount why not
There are a lot of forum discussions on this topic on Facebook. Mostly dependent on how tall the build will be. 1/2" tempered is fine for most builds as long as you're not exposing it to more than 30" height of water. It's hard to type it all and explain but this tank was too tall I had to use 3/4" (19mm)
just remember update us what time on saturday... im gonna lock my time for the youtube live (time zone sucks)... is a must to watch... and also to learn from you...
I hope you'll incorporate pothos or some floating plants into your filtration system to help get rid of nitrates and phosphates so that you can reduce water changes and save on your water bills. I'm so looking forward to seeing you fill up and stocking that beast!
I take it you won't be aquascaping this thing. Amazing piece of work and art. I've seen some pretty cool DIY tanks but this takes it up a notch or 1000.
Well done buddy get a live stream going with the fill up you have done well buddy I keep trying to get my friend to build one in his garage like yours I love the shape and I think you should be proud of what you have accomplished well done you 😀
Absolutely awesome! Great video and editing. I was noticing the 2 windows behind the tank up high, any way of building small filtration room outside and coming thru the wall into top of tank? Just an idea, never know. Tank that size is going to need some serious filtration, and with the new room, you'll have room....lol. Be sure to take a look at the multi-chamber system I have going on for the 1000 gallon in my build-out. Part 16 just released.
Yes bro I was originally going to go out the window into the ground and then up into a separate shed for filtration but I started worried about a power outage in the winter and problems heating it. Even with serious insulation im worried its not going to be efficient. Really good idea and apparently great minds think alike my friend! Its not out of the question still but looking for an easier way. I just watched the rescue video bro!
Hey when you go live be sure to post in the community Tab and let everybody know when you're going to go live in advance that way we can join you I wouldn't miss it I have questions
Truth is it could probably be done with 2x4s but the tank is very tall (53") and that's a lot of pressure especially on the bottom of the front and back walls so I over built it for peace of mind
I was really hoping to see it finished with fish in it all that suspense to the end for nothing. Awesome tank I can't wait to see it when you have the fish the pumps installed and done

Bro this turned out awesome, you're inspiring me to do a build now 💪🏻
Id love to see u build one bro. I know u said u built one before but it would be a sick video series for u
@@OffTheDeepEndAquatics 💯
Do it
Darth Sidious says “do it”
Looks great, how many neons will it hold

Lol, you'll have to beef up that filtration
An inch per gallon right!?! Lol
I think this question every time I see a gigantic tank.

This thing is badass man. Can't wait to see it stocked.
the new KING of DIY has arrived . 👍👍
Oohhhh snap -. Fight him dude, its how we do it in the aquarium world....
One of the best aquarium builds I've seen, well done!
i Really do not know why there are thumbs down for this video....aweasome build man. Cant wait to see when its filled and stocked. All the best
Hey i know this video is old, but do you have a full supplies breakdown?
This is the first time I see how this big aquariums not only from glass are made. Thanks for this film.

Couple hours I could put that together. Take way longer to plan working in front of the camera and edit video later
Letttssssss goooooooo VIRAL!!!!!!
The tank has come out awesome! Can't wait to see fish in it and watch what you're going to for the filtration.
Amazing video, how long do you estimate the aquarium will last until it breaks or leak's? Thanks for your work!
Thanks. I was hoping for 5 yrs. Going on 2 yrs now and although it hasn't leaked, it does need work. I plan to break it down and make some improvements that will hopefully make it last 10yrs

Looks bad ass. It gives me so much motivation on building mine.
Your next man..lol
@@MultiTankAddiction i know I’ll have one before too much longer. Just got to remodel the kitchen first for the wife. I’m ready to see yours being built.
Well that should start soon!!
Cant wait to see this beast filled and stocked....This is definitely off the deep end ...Great job!
Looks great how many times will you have to flush it out before you can safely add fish
How long will this set up last do you think? And what could you do to improve it materials wise?
Looking at ideas for building my own 1500+G tank and came across this video... Looks amazing man! Good job! New subscriber here 🤙
How did you and how can I determine if my coffee table can hold a 2030 or 40 gallon? Also can the floor hold it I mean upstairs condo.
Hey the video is perfect not dramatic. Good job man. Looks good.
Is the plywood treated?
My sound is currently jacked up on my phone. What did you use to seal it, if you don't mind me asking?
How's it holding up
Thats my goal when I buy my first house, it will be my main goal. I want a massive tank for some Asian Arowanas. Great Job
Cheering from Korea. You're living out my dream.

My current tank i built is glass and most likely going with glass on my upgrade because it’s easier to seal.
If it’s acrylic how you end up sealing it in the end ?
If it’s glass what thickness you went with ?
Can you tell me what are the measurements of the glass and thickness? Thank you
Nice diy but I worries d lake it because of d wod how long well survive
How did you determine the thickness of the glass?
Hey there. It's a great video and I'm inspired to do something similar. How thick was the plywood that was used for the aquarium please?
Impressive what did you seal the inside with??
Can you use sliding door glass
What kind of floor is under this? A concrete slab?
So I want to learn to professional make acrylic/glass aquariums from scratch but dont have a clue.is there a book, class or sometype of website that can teach me this???
This video very much encourages me to build one for my favorite marine collection. Cheers!!
Where do i get the viewing panels in this at?
Very nice tank man!! Looking forward to the stock!!
Thx
Is there a specific resin that is safe to use with the fiber glass as far as the fish are concerned? And what did you paint over it with? Trying to build my own and want to be as safe for the fish as possible
Where did you get the glass it almost look like a large coffee table
Whoever gave you the 1 thumbs down needs a 1 foot up...
Haters gonna hate I guess. Probably thumbs down it before even watching. Oh well idm
Yeah probably. Wish I could find some glass at that price!
Well there’s nearly 200 now
Mad respect what was the overall build time
What did you use in the tank to make sure there’s no leak or rots the wood?
I'm not going to lie, this is impressive stuff.
do you by any chance have the blue prints and a list of materials?
It's a diy project not a state funded roadway design. I did however vlog the entire build step by step with over 10 videos
That’s awesome can’t wait for more content and new fish added!.
Thx
Awesome Work Sir
Looks awesome can't wait for the cats to be in there! Great build!
Thx
I always dreamed of having two tanks, even bigger than that, one with 3-4 full size Muskies and the other, a salt tank, with 3-4 full size Great Barracuda.

How did you spec. the concrete to see if it would support that weight first?
Average basement floor is 4" thick concrete. Per lb psf this is nothing compared to what it can hold

@@OffTheDeepEndAquatics moved it to the exterior wall of the apartment. Think they were built in the late 50s. Working ok now.
Think of it this way even if I over estimate the tank weight filled with water its still not even 220lbs psf. That's nothing.
That's an incredible build bud, much respect :)
Live would be cool!! Great tank!! Super jealous! Another great video! Keep up the great content!!
Aquarium is lookin really good, nice job man
Thx
i approve the size of the aquarium. Well done
Omg it's awesome bro
Can you please give me an ideal on cost I own a marina and would love to build one to display the fish of the lake we’re on .
Thanks So Much
Hey man in this video I did a cost break down I guess you didn't watch it all and if u search my channel I did another video on how much they cost to build.
Amazing dude
where do you think i should buy glass
You'll need to source it locally. Call glass companies and get quotes or look for used pieces on fb and Craigslist
Good job, one of the best videos about the construction of a plywood aquarium.

any leaks???

Why were 2x6 studs needed over 2x4?
Truth is it could probably be done with 2x4s but the tank is very tall (53") and that's a lot of pressure especially on the bottom of the front and back walls so I over built it for peace of mind

Yes definitely a live stream please.
You know it Scott!!
Yes mate good idea with the live, I'll be there
Dude so many shrimp! You need to stock it with nothing but shrimp 😂😂😂
How much was the final cost?
