Definitely doable, used a 55G to make a 180G back when I was a youngster. Was easier for me considering I could use one solid panel for front while you will have to piece yours together. Good Luck.

A bit? Jeez man, you're being overly generous on that one. Haven't done this in ~a decade. They're sloppy for sure. Gave it a few extra days to cure just for good measure. That being said, I wasn't entirely sure the glass -metal seam would hold. Failed to properly persuade the fillet seam into...

Built the stand today when I got off of work. May still add a few supports, but it was mostly left over material. Top of the stand is 3/4" plywood, very flat, no noticeable deflection. Christmas gift from work was a notification that I was getting the boot. Today was actually my last day...

I've seen pieces of granite on Craigslist, but they're mostly cost prohibitive. I'm certain I have some max acr floating around somewhere, bit I haven't looked into how it adheres to aluminum. I'll probably wait another 24hrs before test filling. I'll post results after. Thanks again for input.

Thanks Zoea, Both were interesting reads. In all honesty I didn't have a specific intent to use aluminum, but I was at home depot last night 10 min before closing and it was the perfect size I needed. In the past I've had success patching tanks w 3,4" plywood coated in drylock. Even built an...

GE silicone 1 for the glass-glass connection, DAP 3.0 for glass-aluminum. I've built all glass tanks w/ ge 1 so I'm not worried about that. Never used aluminum or DAP 3.0 before. Would've done more research in my younger days, but as I said, just decided to go for it. If it fails I can add a...

Wasn't entirely sure how this would work out, but I decided to just go for it... 3'x3' sheet of aluminium 3/8" thick tempered glass Newly Assembled 3'x3'x16"

That is truly cool. I've lived in the area for seven years and haven't been fishing yet. Time to reconsider. Thanks for posting

Not ready for a beast like that just yet. Thanks for the info guys.

Consider Hypsophrys nicaraguensis. Certainly a much different shape and color than current fish...

I've been itching to setup my 300G Rubbermaid pond outside for the last few months, but I have a quick question. Below I have a table which shows the average temps in my area w/this month being the coldest of the year. I would need to maintain a temp at least 30 degrees over the coldest average...

Have never heard of that particular pairing but i'd personally be scared of a male sal putting a beatdown on female jack, depending on sizes and individual temperments of course. Anyway best of luck in trying

I'd heard some kinda concern about fish spreading stuff person to person

Also as the glass shop mentioned it prob would be best to do halfway through one side, then go from the other since it is so thick

The thickest i've done is 3/8. I really wouldn't try it vertical though as you need the water to cool it. But yes I have used a hand drill to do mine. One thing to consider is getting a block of wood using a regular hole saw on it. Basically clamp the wooden block to the tank and use it as a...

Honestly can't even count how many times i've had to use ghetto setups like that. Hope all goes well for your fish parents to be

I haven't tried it w the method you're describing but I have used a piece of water proof plywood on the inside of a 75g. in your case plywood + epoxy is prob more expensive than a replacement piece of glass, unless you already happen to have the materials on hand

I usually buy fake plants from hobby lobby and zip tie them to eggcrate
