Mustache March! lol
This site has step by step plans to build your own Isolation Tank. I decided to build a tank from scratch and document the whole thing, post the plans online, and help you build your own. The whole thing shouldn’t cost you more than $2,500. I kept all my receipts so you can see what you’re getting into. The costs are shown and accumulated at the first of each step.
I want to help people all over the world feel all the benefits I have from floating.
Thanks and good luck!

PS. I post lots of good stuff on FB too!
Shane I just came to awareness of sensory deprivation chambers the other night, and I am determined to build my own float tank.
These instructions look gold, and very easy to follow— and I would love to donate when I have completed the construction.
some of the information seems to be missing from pages “shocks” and on—
this is what I’m most interested in, is it still available to view online? cheers —Levi
This is actually a work in progress, I should have this site wrapped up in two weeks. I’m on it! Don’t worry the tank is done and functioning daily as of a few months ago.
thanks for your quick reply I’m jacked to see the rest of the how-to and follow along— going to get some friends in on this project. I like your idea for the tub the best I came up with (other than making my own fibreglass mould) was to flip a fibreglass shower body on it’s back and build a box for it. That or a horse’s trough.
lol.. I went through the same thoughts as you. Be sure and like us on Facebook if you haven’t already. It’s an easy way to stay updated on our progress.

Dude not to mention, you looked like Joe Rogan when I clicked on your link, CHEERS!!! Your intent to make the tank available to those with limited funds is absolutely awesome, I built mine for around $1200 however your setup is much more innovative!
Thanks! It turned out pretty good so I’m excited to get it online.
Sweet website man, I plan on building one soon and I’ve been looking EVERYWHERE for some plans. Pretty ingenious ideas. This is definitely going to save me a lot of time. I will for sure send you some cash once I have made my tank.
Nick! So good to hear from you. I love hearing about another builder. Keep me posted on your progress isolationtankplans@gmail.com
This site is the best I’ve ever seen. You go way out of your way to put it all together. The site is clean, easy to navigate, and simple.
Thank you. I’m going to build and when I do, your site is going to be my blue print!
Float On,

Wow ! An isolation tank has been on my “pipe-dream wish-list of things that i’ll never have” for quite some time… You break it down so well, i should be able to afford to cook one of these bad boys up within the next couple of years. Thanks for sharing your ingenuity !
Awesome! I love hearing from people like you. Now that you can imagine having one, it’ll happen quick.

Great info I am looking into building a tank. I think I am going to use a plastic tank like this http://www.ntotank.com/300galowprta.html.
I would like to buy a taller like a septic tank but they are a little to big. I need to be able to get it into a closet under my stairs. I will have to cut a hole on top and make a door to just climb through.
Is their a formula for how much salt to use per gallon of water
I wasnt going to insulate but I seen that you wrote the heater wont keep up unless you do think it will cood down to fast after it is off.
I could possibly spray foam the outside.
I am going to look for a little deeper tank because at 21″ with 10″ of water might get a little closterfobic but then again when its pitch black you would never know.
You got any thoughts or advice on this
Thanks
Email me and I can help you. shane@isolationtankplans.com
Shane, you are a good man. Not out to rip people off or get rich, you’re just trying to help your fellow man. I have great respect for you. I will begin building mine next week. Have you developed any new ideas? What are some of the lessons learned?
I hope people donate generously. Thanks Shane and God bless.

Johnny, Good to hear from you! I love your outlook. I have no intention of ripping people off, although I feel like I’m offering some real value because the learning curve on my end was countless hours and the wrong parts, which equaled about $1,000 extra.lol So I may charge about $20 for plans in the future. Seems fair right? I have a feeling charging a bit may even get more people floating because they’ll be committed.
Lessons learned: Salt water leaves white residue EVERYWHERE.lol So leave a lot of the room and floor white. Also, cleaning has been a huge learning curve but I think I have it mastered. Also, room temperature is VERY important because it needs to feel the same as the water. I’m sure there’s more. Email me if you have specific questions: shane@isolationtankplans.com
That sounds completely fair Shane. I respect what you are doing and I think more people need to experience floating. It is an amazing way to unwind in our overly fast paced lifestyles.
Take care, and float on!
Shane. I really just wanted to say thanks. I’ve read this guide about 25 times now and I’m now about to buy the same tank you bought and begin. You’ve inspired me to get up and DO IT!!! That’s truly is the hard part. Thank you!!!
I do have general questions.
How were you able to bend the wood to cover the lid? Did you pre bend it at all, or just used thin flexible wood, pin it and spray the hell out of it?
As far as tank size goes. If you planned to make another model would you get a larger tank?
The fact that this site has motivated a poor guy like me to save every cent I have to make this, is magic. Thank you.
