Its all your fault Rasta, just when I had convinced myself to buy a tank you got me going on this again

questions for ya.

1, is there anyway you could get some one with a camera over to take some pics?

2, I am interewsted in how you did your joints you mentioned 3" screws is that into the end of the particle board? and did you use any other external bracing?

3, how big is your viewing glass and how thick?

I had planned on using two layers of 3/4" plywood if I did this. I don't feel the extra cost of marine grade is warented but I will look into that also.

4, Why did you decide to use fiberglass? (just picking your brain here)

5, what is your feeling on 45 degree joints? I was thinking of making the tank bulge at one end like a bay window.

Any other info you have either by links or in your head would be greatly apreaceated.

Steve
