nice looking tank,, after reading this thread i would be a little nervous about the thickness
of the glass and the actual structure of the tank itself. For a DIY i think you need to brace/
support the walls of the tank better, just my 2 cents.
all in all its a nice looking build and i hope it all works out for you

ooks nice but it would make me nervous to put certain fish in there, fish that are glass bangers due to aggression and/or fright. Good luck

+1 you might want to add some extra braces on the corners just to be safe , although its holding water fine now once fish start thrashing about it may not last (depending on what fish you have )
Best of luck with it :)

Was going to say 10mm is very safe!

Its all about the bracing

Sometimes all the technical written stuff doesn't compare to real world stuff, its more to cover ones butt ( liability) then anything
