MAking a new Tank. Please suggest.

[bhojnikhil]

I already have 75 ,and a 50 gallon which i had bought it from the local aquarium shop.

I am selling it and now i wanna make my own tank.
This is the first time im making one..and i want suggestions.

i already have stand ,ready...
Which is 6 Feet long,and 1 feet wide.
im thinking of tank, which is 5.5/6 ft long , 1ft wide ,2ft Height!

will a 10mm thick glass workout? or 12mm?
is a silicon aquarium sealent enough or something else is suggested?

and that ll be around 90 gallon i guess. I wanna go till 125 gal, the only option i have is to increase the height(which i dont want to, cuz il have a hard time cleaning it)

I want all suggestions, which one has to keep in mind while building a new tank(for the first time)

gooo

sorry go glass and you should go at least 18" in width for a six foot tank.

 

[bhojnikhil]

Is it like there should be a minimum amount of width for a particular length the tank? Damn!

 

[MartinBoy]

no but if your going make a tank go big. If it is going to be less than 240g than buy a glass tank

 

[bhojnikhil]

Yeap, IT IS going to be a glass tank.

And the dimension are 6ftx1ftx2ft.

The dimensions are okay?

Since im going to buy the glass and gum now!

 

[MartinBoy]

If you can build it it should work fine but again the width will limit your stock

 

[bhojnikhil]

Yeah i have very few fishes

 

[MartinBoy]

You can find reasonably priced tanks and stands on creigslist. Alot easier.
