Well I've decided to make my self a tank somewhere around 350 to 400 galllons. Maybe even a little bit bigger. This is a fairly large project so I though that I would take it to the forums, for more imput. Btw my name is Derek.
So to get to the point, I'm not exactly sure on everything that needs to be done to complete this project. Like how think the glass would need to be in order to support the weight, or if it needs to be specially treated. I am also woundering what types of silicon or glue would be strong enough to hold back this emense ammount of water. As for a frame, I am thinking about making steel frame, but am not entire sure of how think the steel should be, 1/4" mabye? If anyone has experience in making a tank of this size I'd love the help.
