I need some help to understand

[Zagz]

A guy in the paper is selling fish tanks, now the part I don't understand is he says they have 3 sides made out of wood. Wouldn't this leak? Or do they have glass inside and wood on the outside? My brain just can't reconcile this having wood on 3 sides without glass.

it'll be sealed ply..
not bad, i prefer all glass.
they will be heavier then glass due to the sealing of the wood.
bout 20 years ago it was the in thing apparently.

New ones are still built.. how big is the tank? this is somthing that people do to keep the cost of big tanks down..

He apparantly has 3 of them, 2 30 gal's and one 55 gal. That is what he told me.

If they are a good price and good condition, go for it...wood tanks are excellent...nice and lightweight, too.
