[LouPhoenix]

Don't worry about it...

After reading the thread, i'm looking forwards to seeing the outcome of your project too! Keep the updates coming.

LouPhoenix Yup, I own about every movie that was put out He is cool. Sorry about not responding to you earlier. I was to excited about the new project

Wanted to have you check my cuts for the glass. Should the bottom piece be 24x24. Does it make an aquarium stronger if the bottom pane is 24x24 and everything is glued on top? Just want to make sure. Dont want an explosion. Thanks

Here is how its being cut atm.
Cut List:

Bottom = 23 1/2 " x 23 1/2"
Front = 24 " x 12"
Back = 24 " x 12"
2 Sides = 12 " x 23 1/2"

What are you guys paying for the glass by itself?

 

[racermike27]

Hey Ozzy, so Jeff said it would be ok the way we have it now?

I like you jjust don't want an explosion LOL.

Anyhow what have you decided one?


LoyalRogue,

Yes it is just the glass we are making the tanks ourselves.
