DIY 20 gallon (Help Please)

[qazabaz]

Hey guys,

So me and my friend were walking home after fishing in our neighborhood pond the other day and we found these two 10 gallon tanks on the side of the road. Naturally, we didn't want to waste them, so we picked them up and brought them home. Both of them were cracked, as shown in the pictures below. The second one we managed to repair with silicone, and it successfully holds water now. However, the second one is damaged beyond easy repair.

So, we were wondering if there was any possibly way we could combine the takes by fusing them together after removing one glass panel from each tank. We both have little experience with this kind of project, but we are pretty crafty, and could probably get it to work if we had some real plans. Does anybody have any suggestions or ideas for what we could do with these two tanks? Any help would be appreciated.

Now for the pics:

But also, seriously does anybody have any suggestions. I'm open to any ideas that mfk might have. Now that I have thought about it some more it looks to me like I'm going to have to take off the border, or the brace, or what ever it's called. I'm just not sure how else I could get the glass panel out of the tanks and then connect then with the top black border piece still in full contact.

You could build a small plywood tank and have it have it have view windows at the same depth as the ten gallon tanks that you found

People have done this on here with bigger tanks, so it should work.
