55 should have similar thickness glass and same 4' length because they are similar or same height. 55 would be cheaper too. I've seen them for $50 before.

Of course, when I have a 3 day weekend it rains. Can't even go get any of the materials I need for this project or the big tank build.
Man, i just read this thread from the begining and that hydrostatic parodox is pretty crazy. that opens up alot of doors for people with broken tanks to use on diy projects that were thought to be not possible.
i am currently building a stand for my 3x55gal tanks and looking at that i might have to rethink that knowing that i can build a decent size tank with them.

Yeah, the one I tore apart is 1/2" glass. The other two 90s I have are 3/8". Both have braces.
broken, if you have 3 55s you can build 6 decent single pane tanks or 3 double pane like my original design.
The first ones I'm going to build are going to be single pane.
Decided to clean up and reseal this 90 I picked up Friday for $50. It has two holes drilled in it, so I'm going to use it as a tank for a clown trigger. Installing coast to coast ABS overflow in it.
I have the 90, a 4' 65, 20L, and 2 5s for Ken to reseal tomorrow. The 4' 65 I'm giving to my nephew to house his Chinese water dragon. I'm such a good uncle and brother. Saving my sister from having to buy a critter tank for it.
I'm going to use 2" screws to screw the plywood to the inner frame then 3" screws to screw alternating from both sizes of the 2x3 sandwich. I'm sure you could screw from the inside on all of them with no problem.
One of the large panels on the 30 show has a crack at the top, so I will only get one large and 2 narrow glass pieces from it. Was going to just reseal it, but now I'll have to strip the glass out to make use of it. I can try to cut the piece with the crack and save most of it. Hope the crack doesn't run on me.
