Hey all, so the story is that I have some fish that will require large tanks in the fairly near future and was tossing around the idea of building my own tanks and stands for them. Both tanks will be about 150 gallons and will be standard dimensions however I will be making them 28 inches deep and 18 inches high. What thickness of glass should be used? How would i brace the tank? I would like to mount both tanks on one stand one above the other. Any tips on building the stand? I was thinking of doing a steel frame welded together with some form of cover/doors so the space above, below and between the tanks is concealed. I am thinking of industrial steel style doors. My thoughts so far is the bottom tank 24 inches off the floor and probably 18 inches between the tanks with an 18 inch space above the top tank. This setup will be in my basement on the concrete floor and I have the space picked out already. One of the tanks will be for my frontosa colony and the other for my tiger fish and likely some other awesome unique wow factor fish. Also what would the recommendation be for filtration? Let me guess fx5's lol how many should be used? Well that's all I can think of for now so fire your tips and suggestions my way, thanks all.
