Nice. Have fun filling it up.
Great looking keeper!! Would you say $80 is a good estimate of cost to make?

If you had to buy everything including the rope, tubing, gate clips, etc., I think it's $70. For that price you can get it up to 52" in length--which seems super long to me. If you want a 72" one you have to add $6.

Threw it into the bathtub and it just barely floats at the surface. Need to add a little weight to it. Anyone have an ideas other than zip tieing a lead weight to it?
Goop a 1# soft weight in the very bottom.

Fill it with lionfish. And a gooped weight on the inside. Only use as much as you need to make it neutral.

1lb is plenty. I put one on top of it and it sank immediately.
The goop is this?

you can also try using the balance weight strips they use at the tire store - flat and adhesive backed though not sure how it'll work on HDPE. You may have to put a edge seal on it too
