Large tank DIY

[Mike de Leon]

Looking at building my own. I want to build a 84" X 30" X 18" with a synergy overflow.
Any tips out there? What are the pros and cons?
I want to use a 3/4" and do a rimless.

first of all good luck with your build and looking forward to see it grow, I am having my tank build onsite due to the size of the tank which is 91" x 60" x 33" high with 3/4" thick glass, I personally don't go for the looks of the tank and specially when tank size is larger, I am all about the strength, supports and braces (Aluminum or metal) when it comes to supporting the tank. My tank is scheduled for this Friday or Saturday. I will be posting pictures of the progress in my build and you can use these for your reference.

Thanks. One of the reasons for building on site for me is access. It will be difficult to bring the larger tank to where I need it to go. Looking forward to your build. Sounds exciting.
