Standing in tank???

[attaboy]

I'm in the planning process for a 80"w x 72" long x 30" h tank built out of acrylic (1"). I'm trying to figure out how I will access the middle of the tank due to the extreme width & length. Any experts out there who could let me know if I could be able to stand in the tank once filled in order to maintain the middle section? I would use a mask & snorkel to see

Wanting to confirm the acrylice would be ok.

Thanks!

your weight will not be that significant if the tank is properly supported for the amount of water and substrate that tank will have; you should be able to stand in it without concern.

+1...exactly....a few hundred poound person will not affect a 10K plus weigh setup like this. Plus you will displace some water that was there with your body anyway

Shouldn't be a problem just make sure to take lots of pics. Your dimensions sounds sweet!
