Another new project!

Well,

taking apart the 220 was a disaster. 2 panes broke right in half. not to be dismayed, I figured out the gross plans for a new tank witht he remnant glass! It's dimensions will be 40" long, 23" wide, and 28" high with the 1/2 in thick glass and a built-in overflow because the bottom was already drilled! Score! Anyone have any idea about how many gallons that will be??? I'm thinking somewhere between 60 and 75. I'm gonna get a cutting estimate from the local glass shop and see how much it is.

with those dimensions youll get about 110 gallons. here is a good website to use with finding water volumes and such http://www.drhelm.com/aquarium/areajava.html

I would say about 133gal. give or take a few cups

sweet! Let's just pray it works out. Probably won't be in my budget for a couple of months (supplies, etc.) but I'll update when I get started. Until then this new 100 I'm getting tomorrow will be a fun start

Make sure you grind/sand all broken/cut edges, and use a perticle mask (very important).

See if you can find some GE 1200 silicne for your build too.

Well,

...It's dimensions will be 40" long, 23" wide, and 28" high ... ...Anyone have any idea about how many gallons that will be??? ....

The formula is [(40/12)x(23/12)x(28/12)]x7.5=111.8 gallons
