Not sure on everything but to start with I would look for anything claiming to be fire retardant and or antibacterial/microbial. Although if you are planning to put media in it as apposed to a DWC, I would opt for pond liner. As you know it would be fish safe and thick enough to resist being punctured (normally) by your media of choice. I don't remember where at the moment, but I have read on a few threads where going cheaper using the plastic sheets ended badly. |

These materials are fish and people safe. In increasing expense: LLDPE LDPE HDPE Teranap Fibre Reinforce LLDPE or LDPE EPDM Poly Urethane Xavan (Xavon?) I reccomend either Teranap, EPDM or Poly Urethane |
