How thick is the glass? That is the important part.
Although, I think you need to be saving your money in lieu of building a new tank. Plywood builds can get quite expensive.

didnt think of that.. i think its as thin as a 10 gallon atleast. ill have to messure it, let me go see. brb
for now i gotta get some plexiglass ( or aricrlix ) and divide my tank ( the convicts will have an area of a foot long by 18 wide and the oscars will have an area of 48 by 18 wide ) tell i get my build togther. think thats fine?
Honestly, by the time that you build it and get it going, you will have more money into materials than it would cost to co buy a 75G tank.
cant have a 75 gallon tho ( i may beable to make one, gotta talk to grandad. ) and i think i may talk him into letting me have a 20 under my 112 for my convicts.. all they need is just a tank and filter ( dont need lights for them as they will get natural sunlight. ) and it stays warm in the room to.Pharaoh;4414164; said:
well the plan is still on, gunna get some glass from a shop in eau claire, gunna get the glass messurements of 2 foot by 2 foot by 2 foot. gunna have 4 or 5 female bettas and quite a few wild guppys and heavly planted ( grandparents wont let me have filters or whatnot so i'am going to have it severly planted and this will be my first experiment of many i heard on here. )
