DIY Plywood Tank - 96'' X 30'' X 24''
- Thread starter MrPandaram
- Start date
internal structure of the stand is complete..
also i used pro grade liquid nail to bond blocks and wood.
It'll probably only be about 28" of water height you could get by with 3/4". Just make sure it's supported with probably 2 cross braces and give it 2" of surface area to adhere to around the edges to be safe.
Thanks.. 3/4 is 19mm. I thought 12mm is enough as that's the size most 30'' aquariums are made of.. So I was planning on 12mm.. Is it risky?
Yes.. Planing to put 4 metal bars as top support..

I would not risk 12mm, yea it may hold but it's going to have some serious deflection and could possibly pop the seams. I would spend the extra money for the peace of mind that it's going to be very solid.
