IBC Totes and Barrels

[Shas]

Thanks. I try not to post anything of this kind that I have not verified and sourced. Keeps my credibility in tact

Same here.
I respect that.

Good to meet you.

Hey Guys,

I just moved to Paonia Colorado and I would like to get my hands on a few say 10 IBC totes. If any one around here has a hook on that let me know.

I would be interested in any kind of tanks or equipment.

How are you guys experience building your own tanks with wood using coatings or pond liners?

Thanks,

I've built a few tanks using epoxy-and-glass over plywood.
They work great.
For fish tanks I silicone in a side window,
for sumps I don't bother.
I doubt that I'll ever again make an all-glass tank.

My best advice is to google "stitch and glue boatbuilding"
for step-by-step instruction.
It's simple, fast, and cheaper than all-glass tanks.
I found a pretty good guide online called
"2010 FREE Plywood Tank Manual."

There are lots of "DIY plywood fish tank" articles out there,
and some of them are absolute garbage.
I would not want to be around when these disasters are filled with water.

Boats have been built with this technique
for at least a generation now,
and boat builders are nothing if not conservative.
I've built several small boats this way
and have watched my kids sail away in them
without a qualm.
Well, with no fear for the integrity of the boat, at least.
