mawfish Posted November 4, 2009 Share Posted November 4, 2009 hi I have hunted around to get a water change drum or container etc etc to fit a specific space in my fish room & haven't been able to find one unless I get a custom made fibreglass tub which was qouted at $700 bucks which I obviosly didn't want to do , so am looking at building it myself out of wood (ply) can get 30 mm thick stuff for nothing at work. so need a non toxic sealer to waterproof the box with inside so that it's safe to use , is there such a thing or should I just forget the idea the space I want to fill with this box is 1300 long x 650 wide x 1100 High I did research water tanks & plastic tubs from plastic shops & they didn't have anything close enough to what i wanted or was larger. than the space I need to fill any ideas ?? thanks mark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AzFish Posted November 5, 2009 Share Posted November 5, 2009 try a search on plywood aquariums, not that your building a tank, but, the materials to use would be the same; Two-part epoxy paint for potable water tanks is probably what your looking for.

Michiel Posted November 5, 2009 Share Posted November 5, 2009 You can use a pond sealer such as this. Or you can just put a pond liner in there. Michiel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamie2548 Posted November 5, 2009 Share Posted November 5, 2009 I have a 200litre blue plastic drum you can have(I,m a bit far away though) that is ultra clean I dont want. Have you thought of using a new wheelie bin maybe? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
