DIY Cube tank plans..
Ok i tryed to find a tank seller but had no luck so i will try and build my own
18Hx22Lx22W
Now with my calculations i think 1/4in glass should be good.
My tanks specs:
Aqua vol: 142L (37.5G)
Glass: 5mm (Less then 1/4)
Glass Area: 1.33 Meters Square
Glass weight: 21Kilo
Glass with water 163 Kilo
Max Load would be 400-500 Kilo
So for my cuts my sides would be ontop of the 1/4 glass making it
2 @ 17 3/4 x 22 Left and Right Panes
2 @ 18 x 22 Front and Back
1 Base 22x22
2 smaller euro braces on each side
LOL Ok now tell me if this looks ok to use 1/4 in glass im real new at this glass stuff but i like the challenge 3/8 and 1/2 in glass in my area is crazy pricey i could get Oceanic and Cadlight to build one cheaper with there glass.
If im totally outa my mind im sorry took me a while to figure it all out so if you know better then me step on me now!!! hehe
Next option could be 17x20x20........ Or find someone that knows where i can buy 30-45g Cube tanks from a supplier....
