So, Id love a Salt pond in the house, But I want a viewing window. Ive researched the plywood builds and price a Pentair tank. I dont like messing with epoxy and the chance of cracks and leaks. Now for my idea.
What if I built a glass tank inside of a plywood box? Using glass and silicone..The idea beig, I can use thinner glass on all the panels besides the front panel which I would probably use 3/4 because I would like that panel to be rimless. the tank dimensions would likely be 72x36x24 with a viewable front of about 48". Im thinking that i can line the box with thin pink foam sheets and use 1/2" glass for the bottom, 1/4" for the sides, and 3/4" in the front. what do you guys think?
