So in my room i have a 6ft long dresser that has my 20l and 29 gallon tanks on it. Ive visited this thread here and there and like following the builds. Well the other day i had a idea, why not build a custom tank to fit onto the dresser and get rid of the other 2. Now the dresser is a little tall so a high tank is out of the question. Even the 29 at 18 inches high poses some problems when im tring to plant stuff at the bottom.
So my idea is 72 long 24wide and 14 tall. Using one of those gallon calculators it came out to 104 gallons. I think this would be fairly easy to build, and wouldnt need too much material. Also my father is a carpenter so have plenty of tools.
Now my biggest concern is structurial security. Would a tank that long and low need some supports on the corners and middle to keep it from bowing or do you think that 3/4 inch plywood would hold up fine.
