can i do this and would it work? 660 gallon tank

[wednesday13]

I am gonna go ahead and say no. But if you really want to try it I would check and see what thickness glass would be on a normal 700 gallon tank. Even if it is safe I don't think it would be cost or time effective.

i agree the thickness of your glass will not be able to handle the weight almost positive and the pressure would shift your glass and bust the silcone seams i think but plz try because if it worked it would be a hell of a tank.

Well, live and learn! You are a lot braver than me. I wouldn't have the nerve to even try it. Even if it appeared sound after the build, once the water was added I 'd be a nervous wreck. Did it fail during the build or after you added water? In any case, I wish you the best on your future build. It will be a huge tank.
