:shocked:That is just nut's, +1 of ingenuity / -10 for spelling but again just plain:crazy:

im sure u could make an external overflow use a 10 gallon sump and use it for treating corals or a one time use qt tank lol

um.. ya, there are so many things wrong there. I'm sure it was fun to build but I'm also pretty sure that the actual finished product is going to turn out to be an EPIC FAIL. :lol:

Um my jaw hit the floor! But I guess I can't judge to much, I very briefly wondered if I could turn a kiddy pool into an aquarium :redface:

I am sure it is very functional. You would need a better filter and algea would be a problem to get off because you can't use anything abrasive (could only clean the glass).

I just think it would be so EMBARRASSING when people came over :mrgreen: IMO (I guess maybe i'm a snob)

lockrookie 06-23-2010 05:14 AM

think of it as part time beer cooler part time qt tank and all is good .. no? lol

You can get regular cheap fish tanks for around $8.00 - $50.00 now.
It would be a lot safer and a lot more reliable.

+1 for creativity
That tank would be very nicely insulated for the inhabitants :lol:

Oh dear god. As mentioned before, That will probably explode right quick, lol. But ingenous I guess sorta :P

But its much easier to buy a 'clear plastic bin' like another video suggests... cause that will work, and I did it once out of necessity! Haha.

I cant joke about duct tape..... Red Green has done just about everything possible with it. Mythbusters built a boat out of it! Truely, the Handymans Secret Weapon. Saying that though im afraid to google it because im almost positive I will get more then one DIY Duct Tape Tank....

lockrookie 06-24-2010 04:43 PM

well i checked and noone had done a duct tape tank yet how depressing.
