Hi everybody. I can't fit a standard fish tank. Do you think that something like this would be viable?

Anything is possible. Interesting idea.
Oh, one thought. Someone mentioned how tilapia would use the sides to scratch themselves resulting a torn liner

I would be worried about longevity of that. I cant read the language but it appears to be made of fabric. Might hold for a year or so.... but outside in the elements or even damp hot garage. I wouldnt trust it as a long tern solution.

Look into a kiddie pool or an above ground pool for kids or big live stock watering tanks. You pretty much use anything water tight. If it isnt water tight you can make it water tight with a pond liner. I have even seen wooden tanks. Google ply wood aquariums.

My grow bed is made out of ply wood.

Ok, this means that I'll take a look to the plywood alternative. Thanks.
