I built my troughs out of treated lumber and plywood except for one which I will end up rebuilding later. They're not all set back up right now but here's some pics from when they were.

The first is the shallow 4x8 for marginals. It is set up with all the marginals now.



The next is of the whole set up including the 4x10 tank that I built for koi and tilapia. It is being stored at the moment.



The next is a 4x4 shallow for marginals. It is stored right now as well.



The next is the 3x4 plant filter which is being stored. This is one that I plan to rebuild bigger.



And finally, this is just a skirt that I made from aged treated lumber that use to be an old boat dock.



I plan to do a similar skirting around the blue stock tank as well.
