My experimental “Poor Man’s Water Tank” being put to the test. Its basically a 4'x8'x16" box made of plywood and lined with a new peice of black plastic (25 ft roll cut in half) and a 4x8 peice of wood for the bottom. To control mosquitoes I'm going to invest in a pack of mosquito dunks, which contain a strain of bacillus thats deadly to them. Starting from scratch I'm guessing this set up would cost about 100 bucks at most, maybe more if you get a second 4x8 peice of wood for a lid, or if you need the pvc piping. I don't really know the total cost as I already happened to have the box on hand when I first got the idea, though I do know that at a 300 gallon water capacity its a hell of a lot cheaper than buying a tank made for the same purpose, which could run you 3-400 bucks.
