So I've started planning a 96" L, 24"H, 30" W plywood, 2 side glass build. Looking for critiques and suggestions of plans.. will 1/2" cell cast acrylic be sufficient or do I need to go 3/4? my plan is to have front glass go the full length of the face around 93"L give or take for water proofing material, havent decided yet on fiber glass or pond armor yet.. The side glass will but up against the front facing glass in front right hand inside corner as you're looking at tank with silicone on both sides of 90 where they meet. I'm new to sketchup so please bare eith me if I made some mistakes, just started using yesterday and spent a couple hours learning as I went. I do have quite an extensive background in constructing all types of custom speaker enclosures, so I think this will be a project right up my alley..
1
Is the 2" border of face and side that will support the glass going to be strong enough to support the water pressure on the face on the aquarium, or should I increase to 3"?
2 if I use Pond Armor can fiberglass cloth be placed in corners directly under pond armor to reinforce joints, or would I have to fiberglass corners with cloth and resin, and then use pond armor throughout the inside.
