I've seen some awesome builds here. you guys really know your stuff. recently I was on Utube and I saw a guy build a square tank with glass sides and plywood bottom. that got me thinking. then I checked into the cost of glass.
what I want to know is, has anybody build a rectangular tank with one side and one end made of glass and the other side, bottom and end made of plywood? the tank will go in a corner so I really don't need glass on all four sides, only 2.
my plan is to make the tank 6' x 4' x 30" tall.
when I moved, I had to leave my 500 behind and all my livestock in squished into a 210.
if this is possible, what do you think about the glass thickness? 3/4" or 5/8", I know that is over building cause most sites say 12mm for a 30" tank.
what I'm not sure of is how to join the glass side edge to the plywood end edge. any thoughts or advice would be appreciated.
thanks,
rob
