How strong are they? Can they be free standing? Are they all made out of foam? Than you for the help

I don't own one, but they are pretty durable. They are made for farming and agricultural uses, which is certainly more abusive than the aquarium hobby.

Ok i was going to use it as an indoor pond. It will go on a stand a foot of the ground so i can hookup a wet/dry. I just didn't know if i needed to build some kind of support into it for the stock tank.

There are thick and rigid, so you don't need to worry about the sides bowing or anything like that.
What were you going to use for a stand? I think you could probably use something like cinderblocks. If you are build the stand with 2x4s you probably want to get the stock tank first - or at least get exact dimensions of the base(less than the top).

I was going to use 2x4's or 4x4's and 1/4 plywood was not sure. Wanted to make sure it would work. I am planning on getting the tank, then making the stand for it. Might do a small deck and put some plants around it. Lots of planning and will not be able to do it tell taxes come back anyway. Got to love the better half there so smart
