With a kiddo on the way I need to clear the spare room for a nursery, only spot for my beloved channa pulchra is under my discus tank.
While planning the new stand to accommodate the channa tank I decided to go a while different direction and build a ply tank into the stand to optimise the space I had available.
My discus tank is 130 x 50 x 50 cm and I wanted to build the channa tank as big as I could and with only 70cm spare I can't go no wider and glad prices get too much at more than two feet deep and my arms ain't that long !!
It was very much a make it up as I build it type of build .
2x4 inch timbers for the stand and 12mm ply with 12mm glass. Fibreglass lined . Ask any questions u want and I will do my best to answer them.
I have some spare timber I'm gonna add to give even more support.
Discus tank will sit on a 5 2x4s layer flat and glued together and two inches of polystyrene to spread the weight .
