yes but you would also have to replace the bottom panel with a wider peice.. you would also need to order top and bottom braces that fit the new perimeter of your tank... but it can be done
also depends on how thick the panels are... you are going to increase the volume of the tank considerably by making in wider... you need to make sure the glass you have will be thick enough
thanks i thought that pressure wasnt created by the length or width of the tank but the hight, is this true?
that sounds cool, i just wanted to let you guys know that i am still trying to come up with ideas to make my tank larger and that there will eventually be a build thread here lol
it can be done but here are some things you need to consider:
1. thickness of the glass
2. center brace for the tank
3. you would have to take out the bottom panel to match the width of the other panels..

Can we get clarification on whether this is correct? I am in the process of building a tank that is re-using pieces from my 300 gallon aquarium and this is very important info to get right. My understanding is that only height matters, but I am not 100% on this...would like to know for sure.
