Fellow MFKer's, im working my way toward a 1K+ setup 10x5x3 but i have yet to find a setup that i feel comfortable with. I have looked at the 2x4 lumber stacked or even framed with plywood and pond liner but dont see how to seal the front glass or acrylic panel properly when transitioning from liner to clear panel. Ive looked at going with all acrylic but i know the cost would be rediculous. Only the front 10x3 will be visible and im stocking monsters. Its going in my "man cave" so i really want it nice and to not leak or break. Lol. Any opinions being personal preferences or experience with such things would be very much appreciated. Thanks kev
 
Are you looking for the entire front panel to be acrylic or glass? My suggestion would be to look at how JohnG built his pond with viewing windows or VLdesigns build. Both clearly show how to attach the window(s) to the tank.

Here is the link to JohnG's build. Both builders threads are great reads.
