    Re: wooden tanks?

    I wonder if you could cut the metal cage in the right place, pull the liner out... and "rotate" the cage through the doorway onit's side?

    Looking down from above:

    You could even make a cardboard (or even glue sticks together) flat model to try it with. Just toss it on the floor and try to "rotate" it through the doorway. When you get it to fit, use it as a template to cut the tote cage?
    It's all about the fish, dude.

    Re: wooden tanks?

    Wooden tanks are nice to have when you plan for a big fish tank, over 1000 gallons. I paid $300 for the 25 by 25 EPDM to cover the inside alone, and used playwood, foam insulation sheets, and 2X6X8 for the sides. I went big, because that way, the water temp does not changes rapidly as weather temp changes, also the water quality is more stable.
