Sometimes I get that feeling it I just punch him in the ball s and continue. I don't even like the idea of answering and derailing a thread unless it's his , but then I realize it's other people on the thread not him alone .

I'm not a contractor, but from what I've seen around, the cost for building a water tank base can vary quite a bit depending on your location, the materials used, and the complexity of the job.

Costs can swing based on where you are, the materials you're eyeing, and how complex your setup's going to be. You'd want something solid, like concrete, that's level and can bear the weight without breaking a sweat.

Honestly, your best bet is to get a few local builders to scope out your place and give you the real deal on prices. And though I'm more about sorting out my own tank situation than the build part, I stumbled upon https://savannahtank.com/ during my hunt. They've got a load of info that might help you figure out what you need for your tank base, even though they're mainly in the tank game themselves.

bruh
is kinda established that material type, design, labor costs and structural requirements will vary the cost of literally everything, everywhere, for anybody

op
if you want to go cheap
level the dirt properly and then use some pallets as the base
however use a sheet of 1/2” concrete board over the pallets so the tank doesn’t sink between the pallet wood strips

da go wuk, but I'd replace the pallets with blocks, and put down a plyboard under the cement board..
pallets is wood. wood breaking down under weight may break down level, causing some spots to take more pressure than others.

buh daz jes me

Long ago we did the whole tank on bricks thing for decades with no issues. Even though parts of the circular tank base extended beyond the square brick structure. Tanks can take some misaglinment and uneven surface base with no issues, just like Intex pools

[pugboy]

nah, i personally had a tank sag between the pallet strips and eventually leak
another tank on pallets also leaks where a few inches extended over the edge

dunno if they making diff grade tanks now
the buffalo tanks are the worst they have ridges on the bottom which are prone to leaking
