Hi all, in the Uk plywood tanks seem to be very uncommon indeed yet in the US they seem a regular occurrence hence I need a lot of advice please. It only a small tank due to the space I have in that area. its going to be: 66" long x 40" deep x 30" wide. I been watching the youtube vids and I'm happy to build one strong enough and use what everyone seems to use to seal it eg: Pond shield again made in the US
Now what thickness glass are we looking at here??? I'm going to overlap the wood by 4" all-round to be on the safe side. Should I use laminated and toughened which I can get a piece of low iron 13.5mm for £450 or should I go 15mm float or will I need a thicker glass?? I've seen some builds bigger that have used just 12mm float which scares me. I really need some help people here. Any advice would be most welcome, put me right people.
