Hey Pito, Thanks! I appreciate it. But that's an acrylic tank. The bottom was most probably cut from one sheet of acrylic. I remember that tank from a long time ago too. I really like the orientation of the L facing out.

Drstupid, Oh I fully recognize it would have to be built in place and on a rock solid and level base. Torque on the base of a tank is something lots of people forget about in building/locating a stand, etc. About 10 years ago, I had the bottom of little 10G split wide open since i didn't support the bottom evenly on a rack. I just thought there wasn't enough weight for that to happen.

I have 2 six foot long panels so one side would be 8 feet and the other 6. I'm just at a loss as to how to best seam the two bottom panels. Maybe a third panel overlapping? Or maybe I'm just over thinking? If it's on a sturdy, level base, all I need is a silicone bead between the mating panels? I dunno.
