lovetropicals Posted November 13, 2006 Report Share Posted November 13, 2006 I am wondering if this tank is strong enough; would apprecaite feedback http://www.trademe.co.nz/Browse/Listing ... d=77044920 I used the formula from the technical glass section however it doesn't take into account the reinforcement, I am wondering if this tank is strong enough; it is 6 years old and does not leak Tank is 1664 L x 364 W x 476 H internal, with reinforced edges. The sellers response to one of my questions about tank construction We’re neither glaziers nor experts. Tank has been fine for the 6 years we have owned it. All tank components are 6mm thick. Tanks front, rear and ends are bonded on top of bottom pane. The joint between the front and rear panes to the bottom is reinforced with an internal 50mm wide strip bonded to the tank bottom and the inside face of the main panes. Three 150 wide horizontal spreader panes are bonded between the top edges of the front and rear panes, at ends and centre. Further 75 wide horizo (the rest of the response was missing from the seller) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zoban Posted November 14, 2006 Report Share Posted November 14, 2006 Sounds like it should be pretty stable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpidersWeb Posted November 14, 2006 Report Share Posted November 14, 2006 This topic has been answered in another forum. 6mm glass is considered too thin, but as its only 288 litres, I'd say its boderline. I wouldn't worry about it myself. I have two 200L tanks at 6mm, whats an extra 88 between friends? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
