Plywood Tanks

[StirCrazy]

well in order for me to have it as wide as I like I need to be able to acess it from both sides so basicly I would be using it as a room devider so I would have to get glass for two sides and one end. as it would look funny with one side just wood. by getting a glass tank you don't have that problem.. just that..

I think a plywood and glass tank lends it self to a "In wall" or "corner" type install better than a 3 side.

Now that I have said that I think I have a way to do it LOL but that would involve columes and such.. hmmm I think I have a idea..

If I used large columes 4X4 or 6X6 to finnish the edges I could carry them on to the roof. this would provide all the stability you need for your wall corners and allow you to go with 2" of framing around the glass.

Has anyone gotten a price on 5/8th or 3/4 thick glass?

I think that building a "free standing" ply and glass might be more expensive in the long run, But it might be more apealing if done right.
