300 gallon rubbermaid window

[reefraymaster]

Is there a way to stick a window in the wall of a 300 gallon rubbermaid stocktank. I would like to watch my pacu from the side like a normal aquarium. I was thinking about the large curved part on the top section. How would I go about doing that?

i was thinking about this all day and i was thinking you could prbly do it but then i though about how it has the bumps and idk how you could put the glass/acrylic on with closing those completly. So maybe if you can bend the arcrylic to the shape then u could do it but other than that prbly a no go and just save money for a tank

maybe if you could find one that had a straight side so it was more of an oval shape and u put the window on the straight long side, would be very hard to do

there was a guy who did a plexi glass window on a stock tank. used screw's and silicone to hold it in place. looked great and it worked.

nope, but check in the diy section under "pond with viewing window" or something along those lines.

I imagine that it would be very difficult in a 300g rubbermaid because the sides are kind of stepped. The sides would almost have to be smooth and flat for it to work.

I agree....... It would be a very narrow window.

ahh sounds easy... just cut out a section, buy some plexi glass... heat it a little to give it a bend... then just use some sealant
