Proposed "L" Shape DIY project

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
hi! nice plan
i'd go for the alternative diamond shaped type for the additional volume, too. The diamond shaped tank will give your fish a bigger floor area too. plus it looks more mechanicaly sturdy, IMHO. but if it's intended to be viewed by many people at the same time (like in a clinic or a store), i'd prefer the L-type.
Just a word of concern, with the L-type,be careful in determining your tank height and glass thickness.
Good Luck, man! :)
 
You're forgetting that you are on MFK.

MAXIMUM SPACE! MAXIMUM FISH!
