Are some of you actually grouting the tile in the tank?

some grout contains harmful chemicals that may leach out into the water. in this application gout isn't necessary. if the tiles are cut to size then they fit perfectly together and stay in place just fine.

Wont the unglazed sides of the tile soak up water? Or isn't that a problem?

100% natural stone tiles don't have any problems, its like having gravel.

So do none of your tiled tanks have bracing that runs along the front/back of the tank? I've thought about tiling one of my tanks, but the bracing strips along the front and rear will make it difficult, unless I get more 10mm glass and lay it on the floor to level it out.

I'll have to snap some pics of my new 3 gallon Metaframes.

I would have never thought to put tile in a tank. They look great
