Yep - it’s a big rabbit hole!

You know you’re way down the rabbit hole when the hardware store says your 6’ stock tank just came in!

Stock tanks work great, explaining why to the wife I needed this in the basement more interesting.

It gets worse - need to change some plumbing in the basement for filling and drainage. But fully supported by my spouse :-) !!!

Well!! She passed the final test, Tim. Yup... she's a keeper.

Step 1 completed: 6’ x 2’ x 2’ testing tank. The bobsled ride down the basement stairs was a thrill. I am very excited about having this essential tool!
Step 2 build a 2x4 frame and raise it up 24”
Step 3 have the plumber add a faucet and drain (not ad bad as it sounds LOL).
Hmmm…..maybe a requirement for RC subs is you must be slightly demented LOL - I’m having fun!

What sort of tank is that,Timothy? I know the metal tubs( expensive in Germany) but this one is plastic,right?

Hi Jörg -
It is an extremely durable poly(ethylene) tank. Lighter weight and no rust issues - cost $219. The product is:
Behlen Country 2 ft. x 2 ft. x 6 ft. Poly Stock Tank, 52112027GT
I’m pleased with it. I was able to get it locally - shipping tanks will double the price.

Is there a general rule to follow regarding how big your test tanks needs to be? Obviously depends on the size of your model but how much allowance around and how deep?
