What our students have to say about our courses.

Fibreglass Tank Manufacturing Course

Learn how to make your own fibreglass fish tanks, grow beds, sumps and filter tanks, and how to waterproof a wooden bed by lining it with fibreglass.

What's in the course:

Working with resin
Repairing a fibreglass tank
Laying fibreglass over timber
Replicating a tank from a mould
Trade tips to help you along

The information in the course comes out of Murray Hallam's practical experience based on decades of professional fibreglassing, including boat building and aquaponic tank construction.

This is not a trade course. It is intended for personal interest only. It does not qualify you as a fibreglasser.

The course is included as a complimentary extra for students enrolled in the Aquaponics Design Course (ADC). Former ADC students, from before we started this course, can get a 70% discount on the Fibreglassing Course by contacting ADC Support.

NOTE - if you have not done the ADC and you do the Fibreglassing Course, this does not entitle you to a discount on the ADC if you enroll at a later date.

“ I would like to say that at the time I signed up for the Aquaponics Design Course, I was a bit skeptical about how useful it would be to me. But after completing the 8 week course and completing my final design project, I can confidently say that this course was worth every penny. I only had a very basic knowledge of Aquaponics when I signed up for this course, and I learnt a ton of valuable new things right from the basics to more advanced concepts. The case studies of various commercial Aquaponics farms were also really valuable to me as an entrepreneur who is looking to start my own commercial venture very soon. Thanks for this amazing course Murray!!”

“ The class was very informative and provides the best foundation for starting and maintaining an aquaponics farm. It probably saved me thousands of dollars in preventing costly mistakes. It is very professional and at the same time Murray is very entertaining and makes you feel like you are learning something from your favorite uncle. It is money well spent.”
James M.
“ I've been researching aquaponics informally for around 4 years now, and I've never come across such clear and practical information. My dream of running an aquaponic business feels so much closer now! Thanks, Murray and team for this wonderful experience! So happy to be a part of this community.”
