DIY glass aquarium

[justinl]

i built my own 60gal acrylic. Id imagine glass is not any harder. My main tipsas follows:

practice. Get scrap pieces and make a couple 1gal tanks for fun (they may come in handy later anyways).

DO NOT SKIMP ON SILICONE. this is the most important part, get the best silicone you can. it will lengthen the life of your tank.

do whatever you have to to avoid getting silicone on the glass (other than the bonded parts duh). i would suggest covering both sides of the panes in newspaper and taping down the paper using masking tape close to the edge (within an inch or so).
