Anyone have any tips on what one would need/do when building a custom
tank?
Materials to use and sealant advice would be great. I'm looking to
contruct
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.


I won't be using glass, it's no good for what I want.

Acrylic is easier to work with but even more expensive.


That's what I am going with.

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


My reasons are basically a hobby/ project. Everybody has a tank, how many
can say they built it from scratch and in such a way that makes it unique to
them?
