i like your idea, in the link posted above i do not agree at all with just using the silicone. i would have used a narrow glass brace at each seam. what do you plan to put in your new tank??
Just thinking the same!! And, was also contemplating laying a 55 on its side(front pane is bottom) and make a side panel(the open top), kinda like a super-duper 20long.
As one who makes some ghetto-looking $hit, that is something bad; nifty in theory, gonna suck in application.
it will work, but I would lose a little sleep over it in the house, if ya get ma drift.
well, we got some done but my phone was mia at the time so no pictures. we didnt get much done anyway. and the reason for the footprint is for the show aspect. plus, who has a 10.5' 140?
so we got the tank done and sealed, now just have to paint the frame. the stand and hood are painted. then onto the filter. unfortunately i didnt have my phone on me for current pictures. but tonight we're test filling, and i will post pics asap
so we got almost everything done. its out in the shop running and has been good for almost a week now. never had a leak. all lights are wired to one switch.
