ok guys i just remembed i have an old tank with no hood sitting in back garden.! doing nothing

ive just come into a bit of money and i was thinking of upgrading my tank to a larger one then i saw the ideas of water bridges on here and the thought hit me!

another of my conerns is with lighting do they need any kind of protection from the water?

ive thought about wood selection also id need somthing strong and waterproof?

will any 3 by 2 wood be fine for main frame?

alot of questions and such little answers
this is just an idea atm with a wishfullness of getting it done

what size is the tank ?

Roughly the weight of the tank will be the amount of litres + say 10% and then rounded up to be on the safe side.
