8x4x2. Made out of 1/2" cast acrylic and used weldon 4 for the seams. Took me roughly a month to build and there are still a couple things/ touch ups I would like to do on it yet. Tank has been up and running for a month. Filtration is 4 fx5/6's.

Do you think a euro braced tank 96x30x18 would be fine with 12 mm cast acrylic?

I wish I can see the workmanship of the tank itself because there are no pics of the construction, but have to say that the cabinet and the trims are a master piece of carpentry work.

The force and bowing alone won't necessarily cause crazing and cracks, but if you do large water changes on a regular basis, that may cause the tank to contract and expand repeatedly.

There is bowing of all glass tank too, just not to the extent of acrylic. Will regular large scale WC weaken the joints too?

Thanks! I think I have a couple pics of the build process on my old phone. I will see if I can find them.
