even easier, that's an easy tank to assemble. Are you going rimless with the 1/2" Starphire?

I don't know........ I am kind of paranoid....... I may put in euro-bracing.

This project would probably be a whiles off....... since I have been procrastinating about cleaning up my basement and I really should get to it.

1/2" is plenty thick for a rimless 2 foot cube.

How do you post images?

I have a picture of something I want to do but I can't explain it.

Basically a 45 degree section of glass in the front. Here is some ASC art to try and show you what I mean.

I have a picture of the tank but I am not sure how to post pictures.

It will be more complicated then a normal cube.

Any suggestions?

Cheers,

Is the 45 across the front allowing a sort of top down view? You'll have an unsightly seam across the front. I'd look into acrylic for this design if it were me.
