Hey guys -
I'm not ready for a reef tank yet. I'm still mastering the art of keeping my neon tetras alive. ;-)
But I'm interested in building my own tank, out of acrylic. I was thinking I'd like to build an unusual shape, nothing complex or too big, just a starter project that would be something different - I'm wondering if I couldn't build a tank to put along the back of my desk?
Maybe 48" long x 12" tall x 7" deep? That's what, about 20 gallons...
Is this a terrible idea for some reason I'm not thinking of? Is it a viable first project? Any thoughts on design or construction would be appreciated...
