I'm certainly no expert on this, though I have done electroless Nickel on a small scale.

From what I have seen the plating could be done in a fiberglass tank. You would also need an immersion heater with a heat control. You also need a clean air supply to agitate the bath. Small PVC pipes are plumbed into the tanks with a row of small holes drilled them along the length.

Good luck with your endeavor.

An immersion heater should do the job. Remember that when plating, a very clean surface is absolutely necessary .Try some test pieces first. If you have problems starting to plate - I've had to start it with a bit of currant.

I've seen one piece glass fish tanks that may do, and used tanks aren�t too expensive.
