There are no stores within a 7 hour drive from where I live that sell over a 30 gallon tank, I need something around 50-100 gallons and I need it soon. I do not want to build a plywood tank simply because I do not have the time, room and equipment to dedicate to such a project. I local auto glass company said they could build a rectangular glass tank to my specifications and this is where my number one main concern comes in: do 'all glass' aquariums NEED the plastic/steele/wood frame work around the top of and bottom edges of the tank? If you don't know what I mean think about the typical 20 gallon aquarium available at WalMart and the black plastic peices on the top and bottom. If the frame didn't add structural integrity to the aquarium then I wouldn't be concerned however that is just not the case. Or is it? Is a silicone sealed 'all glass' aquarium strong enough in it self to hold that much water without bursting at the seams? Any feedback would be greatly appreciated.
