Default Building a tank...

I don't think I would feel safe with a homemade version that large. I know
they can be just as good or better. I am just thinking what do you guys
think an insurance company might do if one that large fails & they find it
is home made.

Anyone have any tips on what one would need/do when building a custom

Materials to use and sealant advice would be great. I'm looking to

a tank that is about 300Gs...


Step 1: See if you can get the glass cheaper than just buying a tank.
Silicone
is the only adhesive you can use.

Acrylic is easier to work with but even more expensive.

I'd buy a good ued tank. What reason would you have to make one
that big yourself?
