New Tank

Question
Hi, thanks for take the time to read this but I'm currently wanting to build a bigger tank but I really don't have any idea where to begin.

Answer
Building your own tank is a big undertanking. Because you are limited as to what materials are safe you will have to plan very carefully.

I would recommend a wood frame and plexiglass tank but honestly, it's often easier and cheaper to just buy a used tank from someone or find one at a garage sale! Those often come with stands as well.
