As you remove more of your senses, meditation becomes easier. It's like turning off your vision AND your hearing. The real deprivation chambers help to also eliminate the sense of touch by suspending you in a dense liquid. Like being in a calm infinite ocean
I understand how sensory deprivation tanks work. My point is that turning off the light would work just as well as a box on your head for removing visual stimulus. If there was ambient light coming in from the window, you could always cut the box and tape it to the wall.

Because I have several dozen electrical devices in my room that all emit light with their LEDs, taping these down is a big pain. Also, the way my room is build, I cannot lightproof it completely.

I can try but I really don't mind having earplugs in to isolate the sound, which is what I'm doing now.

I can post up some detailed plans to make your own if anyone is interested (no, it is not a 30 min process nor cheap). Took forever to find them, they are the ones on flebay for $10...
Please do! But if you're talking about a real isolation chamber, I would like to bring up the space argument once more. I just can't put a tub in my room. I mean, a box you can store away, but you can't just store away the tub, now _that_ would look weird if someone entered my room on a normal occasion!
Quote:
oh, hanging some blankets on the wall/ceiling of a closet might be more practical... and might not look as weird if someone walks in 
I don't know what would be weirder really; finding someone with a box on his head or someone in a closet. Imagine opening that closet and finding someone sitting there, it would scare the hell out of me 
@wolf8312 Good luck lasting more than 3 minutes in there!

lol, someone just sitting there... "wtf" are you doing! would be the first thing an observer would say. Also, not trying to hate on your idea, it is really good, and I will probably implement something similar. thanks for sharing something that 90% of the people that sees it will make fun of you for out of ignorance 
Yeah, the plans I have are for a serious pro-grade tank, well, I think I remember joe rogan doing an interview next to his, looks exactly the same...

It's not my design at all. Just a pdf of a "real" tank, pumps and all.
You can buy them for about 8-10k, but building it would cost about 500-800 after buying a pallet of epsom salt. You don't have to change it very often though, that is what the pump and filter does (it doesn't run while you are in it). I think it even has transducers for sound beneath the water level, so you could play some music/sound to help you relax, or trip the f out 
silence is best 
lets you really get to experience what is, w/out the distractions.
Let me get it hosted somewhere, not sure about copy write stuff, probably why it was so difficult to locate...

That's awesome! I love floating. I was addicted after one session. Great thing is I learned that at my float center here in Boulder if I make my appointments the last one of the day the employee will give me an extra 30min so he can float himself at the same time. This is an article on tanks if anyone is interested. Isolation Tanks and their benefits.
I'd be interested in a homemade tank. That would be cool. I always thought about putting one in my garage. I just need to get settled down more. I wouldn't want to move that sucker after it was all set up and filled with salt. Salt is expensive when you have to buy that much.

It is expensive, but if you shower before hand and run the filter afterwards, it should last 6-12 months. It's not like much can grow in that stuff lol
One thing you will want to mindful of is the temp in your garage. I believe the perfect temp is about 95F? I am going through some of my hard drives this week and will post the pdf, like I said, it looks exactly like the one joe rogan did an interview near (his)
and yeah, search float tanks and the area you are near, I bet there is one close
