Join 2 55G together

[PMK]

I have joined tanks numerous times. No real dramas if you dont mind the vertical join line. On 10mm thick glass up to 60cm high/deep, you dont even need a brace but if you have tankbusters or the tank is not in your fishroom (ie expensive if it leaks) then I would add a small brace. I have joined up to three - 8 foot x 2 foot x 2 foot tanks ... just to get a 24 foot tank and even joined some at right angles to make long or L shaped corner tanks.

Have enclosed a photo of 2 tanks joined, (both 6x2x2 foot) because this apartment is on the 7th floor and 6 foot was the largest size I could fit in the elevator. Joining tanks is much cheaper although if you do have a long glass tank (over 10 foot) I would recommend a split (2 piece) bottom to allow flexibility.

I can go bigger now without the extra money. One question since the amount of water in the tank is larger now does this effect the tank in anyway like bowing or anything else?

Not if you brace it properly or you make one of those plastic things on to of it.

can u stand it up on end?

still cant, because my house have 3 floors (not exactly 3 floors) but theres a room build between first floor and second floor, and the passage way going to the basement were just below that room.. so.. its not tall enough for the 150G to pass thru

How to remove the glass from one side of the tank? smash up the glass? and then sand the edges .. and then join up with the other tank?

Taking a page from your own book...Just smash up the wall enough to get it thru then just a little drywall and spackling and it's back like new.

Priorities!!!!

What's more important:

A) An old wall that's just in the way.

or

B) A MONSTER TANK!!!

Did this question really need to be asked!?!

Get out the chain saw.

(This is the problem with the younger generation, they didn't have the educational benefits of the three stooges).

thats what I am saying

6" only $22 USD a foot. Oh yeah, plus fittings. That should be right up your alley.

Personally I think teaching the fish to jump from tank to tank would look cooler.

yeah but where can you get chepa clear pvc big enough????

Why does it have to be round? Why not just make it out of sealed plywood with a glass or plexi viewing panel? Then you can make it as big as your fish.
