I thought it was my dream tank until I got a wild hair and went another direction

As a Nerd I had to calculate the volume. 100.99 Gallons minus Acrylic thickness.

Curious, how thick is the acrylic?

 

[Bagel Girl]

1" I think. I will double check when I get home.

Thinking about a huge temperate tank?

Where do you think I could hide it in a 2 bedroom apartment? lol No way I'll get the go-ahead to buy it, just wishful thinking/encouraging others to use it as a temperate.

Would make an amazing coldwater tank!

who would have a problem with 1/2" acrylic on a 100 gallon tank??? I could be mistaken but that sounds more than adequate. acrylic is 10x stronger than glass & bonded on a molecular level vs held together by silicone like glass. I don't know how accurate the following link is but if you enter 96" wide by 96"deep by 30" tall for acrylic it recommends 1/2" thick acrylic for a 1197 gallon tank build.

With temperate it's more about insulation then strength. 1/2" is fine for strength.

Height is the measurement to pay attention to, and if its over 24" tall I would go over 1/2", probably 3/4"

I am planning a tank upgrade and thinking either 72' or 96 " long x 36" depth x 24" tall and I will be using 3/4" acrylic

It's a great tank. Make me an offer

Would work nice as a frag tank.
