i have been researching for about 6 months and now am feeling comfortable with going ahead with my project, i have all supplies needed
i got my directions from the garf site...here is the dimensions they say to go with
Material = Plywood w/ Glass
Tank Height = 24"
Tank Width = 48"
Tank Length = 74 "
Plywood w/ Glass Thickness = 3/4"
Approximate Gallons = 369
Cut List:
3/4" Exterior Grade Plywood
Bottom = 74 " x 48"
Front = 74 " x 23 1/4"
Back = 74 " x 23 1/4"
2 Sides = 23 1/4 " x 46 1/2"
2 Top Brace = 46 1/2 " x 6"
3/8 inch Glass Front
Glass Front = 72 x 21 1/4
i am ok with all this except my Glass for front is already 72 long X 24" high. (and would rather not cut it)...garf says needs to be 72 X 21 1/4....because i will be using 1/2 glass instead of 3/8 can i get away with raising the height to the 26" high which will account for MIN of 2" surrounding glass? i cant calculate on garf as it says
"GARF Does not recommend building a plywood tank longer than 48 inches when the height in more than 24 inches"
what do you all think?
