Plywood tank Build
« on: February 06, 2010, 10:49:32 PM »
I saw this a few days ago and thought it was a good read.  Over the years Im begining to see these plywood tanks getting better made and much better thought out with their design.  This is a Plywood tank built by some one from the Finger Lakes Reef Club.

Years of: wet floors, salt water up to my elbows, reading till my eyes hurt, 20,000 miles going to the LFS and club meetings,  QTs, slimy corals, broken pumps, overflowing RO units, bad test kits, algae...Can you believe this is the best hobby in the world?

What came first, the music or the misery? People worry about kids playing with guns, or watching violent videos, that some sort of culture of violence will take them over. Nobody worries about kids listening to thousands, literally thousands of songs about heartbreak, rejection, pain, misery and loss
