I tried it for a 660G and it worked OK ... same sizes as I thought to use ( 3/4" all around ) except the calculator was recommending 1" base ... since I plan to use 3/4 plywood base covered with 1/2 foam I figure my original calculation of 3/4" float glass base was correct

What are your dimensions going to be on the 660?

Actually 618G
 ... 96W X 48D X 31H ... I was going to go 32 or 33 high and then remembered my old tank was 34H with a 31 waterline and it was a pain to reach the bottom  ( almost had to take a breath  )

holy cow that's huge! how are you going to light that behemoth, or is it going to be a FO shark tank or something?
let me guess. You're going to have a 400 gallon tank in your basement rather than a sports car in your garage?  nice to know it was close to what you estimated for the side panels. Again, the bottom calculation is if it's supported by a steel frame, with no plywood under the tank. If I was building a tank that large, I'd build a plywood tank myself.

It will be a reef lit with 4 X 400 W MH plus 4 X VHO ... to start with ... as it develops I maay look at different options ( T5 or LED maybe to cut down on the electricity bills) ... will always have some MH though because I like the shimmer it creates
As to the tank build I would buy the glass today if I could locate 3/4" starphire anywhere except Bow valley  ( I refuse to buy there )So I will focus on developing the basement first and then worry about getting the glass for the tank

, as well as armpit rashes with those new dimensions. That tank will be a sweet one to drool over, can't wait to see it.
