2000 Gallon tank and stand

[Egon]

Egon I started flipping through your 1100 gallon setup.thats a real nice setup. love how you built it into the wall.

Thank you. That was a fun project. The wall I built keeps all the noise, humidity, smells out of the house. It turned out to be a great idea.

I’m thinking about using a 4x8 sheet of acrylic to make a single window. If I have 3” of support all the way around the window, making the viewing panel 42”x92” would 1.5” thick acrylic be enough or should I go with 2”.

I’m also thinking of making the tank 66” total height but only filling it 60”

There’s a lot of acrylic calculators out there. 100% recommend using one.

FYI: Put some time into researching plywood builds. 99% leak if they are over 2 feet deep, top to bottom.
Initially I wanted to do this and then started planning a concrete tank. Then I found the biggest tank I could fit through my front door
Keep it simple…
