48in tall aqurium glass thickness? (1600 Gal)

[Matteus]

All of the steel will be coated with some sort of epoxy paint so there is no bare metal. At least that is the plan as of right now.




Yeah that might be the case. Ill try to get some more posts and ill pm you my email when I am able to.

Amazing. Please keep us updated with pics and possibly videos once you get this bad boy up and running.

I know glass thickness is asked a bunch but what do you guys this the glass thickness for this aquarium should be? The majority of the tank will be made out of 1/4" steel.The glass pane is 130"x48" and will be supported by 3" angle that is .5" thick. I have attached some pictures to give you a rough idea what im talking about. Any opinions would be greatly appreciated!

I'm looking forward to a future thread about suitable tank mates for the cat.

When I get to building it I will definitely have a build thread with lots of pictures! I also want to make some videos on the process. Obviously I'm not an expert on building tanks but I think It would be cool to capture the journey. ?

New to this forum. Not sure if this is the right place. I would like to build a 1,675 gallon above ground Koi pond. I would like it to be 8' x 8' x 2.5'. On two sides i would like to have a 4' x 3' x "thickness", glass viewing window. The sides will be built with blocks. What thickness and or type of glass is needed?
I apologize if this is not the correct place for my inquiry.
