    500+ gallon tank RF first build

    Looks like it going to be a fun build good luck with it. I used 3/8 on mine. insulating is really up to you if I lived in a place where it got cold and snowed I would insulate. From what I read during my research for my build if you lived in a warm place it wasn't needed.
