Need info on building my own Tank

1KoidialDude · 04-06-2005, 12:32 PM

Would like something in place of my 55g head board, would like something around 300 gallons. Need to know about thickness, tempered, and Silicones. Any info leading to me building a better tank would be greatly appreciated.
Sick n tired of going outside to see my big babies :P

There are many ways to build a large tank. Are you looking to build in glass, acrylic, or wood with a glass or acrylic front window?

it might be better to buy just the tank itself and build around it. you can get a new 300 for 8 or 9 hunderd bucks.

it may end up costing more and u hafta put in a lot of work w/ the chance of it not being built correctly. u probably should buy it.
