The various types of floatation tanks

After looking through the beautiful tanks in the Aquarmony catalog, I was spurred to expand on the list of tank types that Float Tanks Solutions published in one of their guides.

So with no further adieu, here we go:

Float Pod and Float Tank

Float Tank and float pod are discussed in the same section because there is very little difference between them other than shape: a pod has an ovular shape while a tank tends to be more rectangular.

Float Pyramid

Leveraging sacred geometry, these tanks are built in the form of a pyramid to amplify the float experience with the power of pyramids. Aquarmony is the only commercial manufacturer of such a tank.

The Giza DIY Float tent intends to use this approach as well.

Float Tent

A float tent is a device that uses a non-rigid tent-like structure. The Zen Float Tent was a commercial effort in this fashion

The Ragtop DIY Tank uses a tent for the top (hence, ragtop) but a hard plastic tank for the bottom.

The Giza float tent is both a float pyramid and a float tent.

Float Cabin

A float cabin is basically a walk-freezer retrofitted with the ingredients necessary to make a quality isolation tank. A typical cabin is 8′ x 5′ with an 8 foot high ceiling.

The first float cabin was probably Crash Hoefler’s. But since then, many other people construct them, dreampod for instance.

Float Room

A float room is a dream-come-true for those afraid of being in a closed-in tank. As mentioned above a float cabin is typically 8 feet long, 5 feet wide and 8 feet high. A float room will be even wider and some allow for couples floatation! Tom of FloatSNJ has made custom float rooms for people all over the world.
