Plywood sump.

[RELLIK-REEF]

Its not beautiful but it functions perfectly. Left the outside raw so that we could see moisture in the wood if there were any issues but after sitting full for 3 days there's no wetness. It will be going in tomorrow. 57x18x21 93 gallons 20gal for the fuge. I'm hoping this works a little better than what I'm using now.

Looks good but at the very least I Would use some very good penetrating Sealer on it,

What did you use as a liner on the interior? I assume that's 3/4" ply? How long are the screws, and did you also glue the joints?

Looks great. What do you use to paint/ seal the inside?

That looks awesome. I've always wanted to build a plywood tank but don't have the space to build one big enough to make it worth it. Good luck with it!

I did this was only to watch for discoloration of the wood if there was any leaks.

5 coats of pond armor. Yes 3/4 and I used 1 5/8 screws and yes waterproof glue.

5 coats pond armor. Probably didn't need that much really but I used up what I had.

Thanks. This was our trial. I'm going to run this for a month or so and watch it carefully, then start a 750gal plywood FOWLR.

I currently have I 220g display with a 180g sump. The sump I have now I made from an old glass tank I had. I have been contemplating building a plywood sump though
