This is a year update using a Pentair aquatics fiberglass tank holds heat way better then glass. Walls are easier to clean. Evaporation isn’t as bad as I had thought it would be 3 gallons a day here in Florida

Interesting! Did a photo upload misfire?

I think glass and structural fiberglass are both not great insulators....but I still like the idea of a fiberglass tank!

I'd like to see pics and hear more about your experience with it.
