How do you figure this tank was built?

Hi everyone. I've been looking at this for a while, and I keep wondering how this frame was built. The only thing that makes sense to me is that the glass bottom was glued onto the bottom steel frame, glass sides glued to the glass bottom, top steel frame glued on, and then the vertical steel braces are simply glued on to the glass, not welded to the top & bottom. I mean, you could NOT weld the thing together with the glass in place, could you?

i dont now how they did it but it might br the baddest tank ever!

You could weld the whole thing up first, then put the panels in. Even thought there is a lip of metal, just angle the glass to get it through the section where it belongs, and straighten it once inside the frame and put in place.

first construct the metal frame , then put the front and back in then the bottom , then the sides .... thats what i think happened if everything fits in super tight then u just have to silicone the inside and whallaahhhhhh.......

Assembled by the gods I believe. Thing is amazing. Interesting room hes got there. Needs some fish tho

I'm guessing they built the whole frame except the top rail. Then they installed all the glass and welded the top frame in place.

What Is The Dimensions Of That Tank?
And How Many Gallons Is It?

13' x 5' x 5', I think. So it'd be about 2K gallons?
