DIY plywood tank 3 sided?

Viewable from three sides it can be done right? Was thinking of 24x30x72. Viewable on three sides. would you just cut the glass the same way as the front as far as overlap?

At that point, why wouldn't you just make the whole thing out of glass?

It is certainly possible. You will need to put some thought into how the sides will look where they transition to the back. If it were to be an in/out of (peninsula) wall it would be much easier to build!

If you are looking to do a ply wood tank, that is a great forum and a great thread to read through thoroughly...those guys in NY really know what they are doing. It must be the water
