Plywood Tank Build 300 Gallon

[Edmonton newbie]

west system has a great book that explains the glassing process very well, east system is a cheaper knock off that i have been using and is very easy to use plus no need for the super ventilation that you used to need while using resins, I would not think twice about using it in my kitchen

last year I considered building a plywood tank, and checked pricing here and there for the resin.

I found US composite was by far the cheapest, se below, there price point, with shipping to Victoria and made in the us, so no duty, only the local tax:

1x EPOX-635416 = 10 Gallon kit $490.00

1x set of EPX-P41 $6.75

16 yards of FG-C0738 fiberglass cloth $76.00 = $572.75 + $169.98 shipping = $742.73 total


here is what I put on reefcentral

I remember seeing on Monster Fish Keepers someone building a Plywood tank for FAR cheaper then this. I haven't done any research into the matter but I remember thinking that, thats fairly inexpensive. You might want to look on that forum and see wha they have to say as there are alot of Plywood builds there. This was more then 2 years ago tho.
