Aquarium Advice Addict
Ok for those of you who do not know I am a science teacher, at an Alternative High School, so i have more freedom then average science teacher when it come to curriculum. i am currently teaching an Independent Study class where i alow the student to design their own projects. one of my students (who who shares our interest in this great hobby) was brain-stoming ideas on how he could do a science related project and include the aquarium hobby. the project he come up with was to build an aquarium, research what to keep in that tank, and write up a detailed plan, documenting the whole proccess of construction, scaping and stocking. he is using the plans from the Cichlid Forum- Plywood Aquarium.
1. has anyone tryed to build one of these?
the plan is to build the stand as part of the tank, his depension give him ~120 gallon tank. i expresses so concern about the weight, which i hope he takes into account, do to the fact that his bed-room is on the second floor of his house.
2. the one major deviation in the linked plan is he plans to replace pieces of glass, with one 2 foot x 4 foot piece of acrilic, with a center brace. does anyone see a problem with this, my concern is the acrillic bowing :?
any other thoughts and suggestions would be great!
thanks
