Tank to be 50cm or 60cm high. Pictures made with 60cm measures.

Possible to create the L shape? Or am I just too ambitious? :screwy:
Any dangers or L shape etc... any feedback appreciated.

:D
 
Can't wait to see this.Whats program did you use for those plans?
 
although a L shape would look very sleek in that corner,

going diagonaly would give you alot more liter's...and if i'm not mistaking you would be using less glass?? does this make sense?
 
Thanks for the replies, software used was Google Sketch Up!

Not sure when I will start it yet, need to redecorate the entire living room soon and was planning to do this at the same time to get it all done without further messing things up at a later stage.

portabuddy @ I kind of like your idea, never really thought about it like that before how do I go about calculating how many liters I would end up with for a 50 or 60cm tank? Also what is construction like in plywood? Know any good examples? Wouldn't there be too much pressure on the glass?

Thanks for all the replies :)
