Installation Guide of Corrugated Galvanized Steel Fish & Water Tank

Step 1: Prepare the Foundation

1.1 Choose a flat, solid, well-drained surface.

1.2 Leave enough space around the tank for installation and maintenance.

1.3 Lay a concrete foundation or compact the soil, then add a sand pad for leveling.

Step 2 : Pre – Buried Drain & Pipes

2.1 Measurement and positioning

Use a level and tape measure to accurately measure the position of the drain.

2.2  Digging groove

Dig trenches according to pipeline diameter and burial depth requirements, ensuring that the bottom of the trench is flat and has a certain slope (usually 0.5%-1%).

2.3 Lay pipes

Lay pipes according to design requirements and ensure that the slope of pipes meets drainage standards.

Step 3: Assemble the Steel Panel Walls

Start with the bottom ring of corrugated panels

Build upward layer by layer if the layer is 2 and more, excel only 1 layer type.

Bolt each ring to the one below.

Important Notes:

Each panel has bolt holes along its width direction—i.e., the top and bottom edges of the tank—for connecting adjacent layers. Please check that the distance from the bolt holes to the two edges is different. If the edge with the smaller hole-to-edge distance is upward, then every layer should be installed in the same orientation.

Step 4: Install The Protection Steel Strip

4.1 Place the black U type edge protection strip to the top edge of the tank.

4.2 Cut the strip at end

Step 5: Install the Internal Liner

5.1 Place the internal liner inside, covering walls and floor completely.
