All panels are made out of type 1 pvc 3/8” thick, on the inside of the panels we recessed magnets into pvc...

You can use any kind of pvc, type 1 seems to cut better on CNC router.. expanded pvc is cheaper and can be cut with anything if you don’t have access to a router table but not as durable...you can cut type 1 with a tablesaw...

Nice build man. any recommendations on the steel fab? debating wire-feed on 1-1/2" 18 gauge myself or contracting it out. Thanks for the tip on plastic vendor.

Mine is Little over kill, it’s 2” square tubing 3/16 thick.. I did mine with arc welder...it will probably hold a 1000 gallon tank if it would fit.. lol 1-1/2 18 guage should be fine with wire feed...

What size tank?
