hi i want to build a plywood corner tank 36x36x51 triangle with an overall height of 60" the visible display window will be 40x48 and i intend to use cast acrylic 1" thick with a size of 48x56 which will give me a 4" on all 4 sides to support it.
ive been reading on several sites and checking out other tank builds and a lot of what i read say 30" high is the limit but i have seen a lot of monster tanks that are nearer six foot tall.
what i need to know is that as its a corner tank theres half the amount of water so will this allow me to get the height i desire.
and if it makes any odds the water level would be 2" above the top of the display window so from the bottom of the display window where the acrylic is supported to the water level would be 50".
any advice welcome cheers
