tempered glass

[jspatriots]

i have some one who is ofering me 2 free 8x4 sheets of 3/4" tempered glass!!
my question is can these be cut and used for a dyi tank. i might just get it f i have to replace the bottom of my tank.

 

[rottbo]

yes that is a good deal grab them up

With two pieces like that you could build yourself a really nice tank, or even take it to some glass shops. The local glass shop here has all the clamps needed for aquariums. All you need is Aquarium silicone and the clamps and a lot of patiences, and you could be the proud owner of a pretty big aquarium.

I say take the glass, it won't hurt so long as you have the room to store it.

i figure i might just use one sheet for a glass front on a plywood tank

Tempered glass CAN'T be recut, or drilled.....Also when tempered glass breaks is shatters into a million pieces.....Perfecto is using tempered glass on their tanks, only the bottom piece is tempered I believe.

cheers

flagtail is correct... you can not cut glass once its tempered.... but you could still build a hefty size tank or tanks like you said with plywood and the whole glass sheet... so yea. take it and build yourself a monster

Hell you have two of them. Make a 16' monster tank! If that's too crazy for you then sell one sheet to me so I can build my plywood tank.

That's ok. We can meet in the middle. Say N. Carolina/Virginia????

Actually my uncle works at a glass/plastics place so I'm gonna see if he can hook a nephew up.
