I was sittin in front of the tank last night, and got to thinkin....
What problems can all of you think of If I tried to take a 4'x3' piece of glass, and used that as a viewing window in a tank made of fiberglass? Why make all 4 sides glass, If only 1 side will be viewed (such as in a wall tank).
I was thinkin along the lines of using some sort of dye or using a reef-safe coating on the fiberglass to make it black.
plumbing it would be a piece of cake, you could drill your holes anywhere you wanted.
This would be incredibly cheaper to do a big tank this way.
I'm still working on a few of the details, but would like to hear your thoughts on this.
