This will be my second real display tank to setup in my 3 years of involvment in this crazy hoppy. My first (58 gal) was set up on impulse and quick decisions without a ton of research. But it has over all been a success and taught me many things. Right now my wet friends are residing in a 20g aquarium in the kitchen while I redo my room and build my newest aquarium a 45 gallon acrylic cube.
TANK
The display is a braceless 44.9 gallon (24 x 24 x 18) cube made out of 1/2" acrylic with a 12" linear external overflow. Does anyone think I will have to worry about bowing with this thickness of acrylic considering the dimensions?
PICS of the build so far.
First 3 pieces glued together.
