My Diy tank

[Tipton34]

This is my 70 gallon tank! I have built the tank and stand. Just waiting on next pay check to start on lights. The sand is from Destin beach, Florida!! I live in Texas so its kind of sentimental!

That's super cool!!! you made sure it's strong enough to hold water first though right?

 

[Tipton34]

Oh Ya!! Its not my first built stand. The tank I had on the front porch full of water for a week.

What did you make it out of glass,acrylic or plexiglas

 

[Tipton34]

Its made of glass! It was given to me so it was hard to refuse. I built all of that for about $30

I can't tell from the angle but does it have a brace? If not does it have allot of flex when filled with water?

Cool I'm trying to make one out of plexiglas

 

[Tipton34]

Can you make it very big??

 

[imtcurveball]

Is there a brace in the middle of the tank from front to back... i would highly recommend that

 

[Tipton34]

Yes there is, its about 8" wide! The tank is 42" long, 24" wide, and 16" tall!
