Hi
I plan on making a custom tank. The dimensions will be
40cmx30cmx25cm (LxWxH) in 5mm glass. I plan to have two braces at the top on each end 30cmx5cm. Would this tank be safe? And I just realized I have done this wrong.
I ordered pieces
1@ 30x40
2@ 40x25
2@ 30x25
2@ 30x5
As I have been reading up on tanks the walls of the tank should be sitting on the base, so may have to change my order to
1@ 30x40
2@ 40x25
2@ 29x25(this is to compensate for the thickness if the glass?)
2@ 30x25
I understand you start with the base, then stick the front panel on, then sides, then back, then top braces. Using aquarium silicone. And using a heavy object to hold the glass vertical and masking tape to hold it all together?
Any advice on tank making is appreciated
Thanks in advance
Matt
