GARF! Go there, then "DIY Pages" then "Tank Building" And fill it in etc. Then read the instructions on how to make the tank you specified. Just to start you off. Zac

Hey guys, here is it almost finished, still needs to be painted and installed. Zac

Hey guys, Not really fish tanks, but we have 3 painted sliders, ones a hypo :D We keep them in a inclosed pond during the summer. And for a short holding time we bought this 100gal holding tank/horse water tank...etc. Well here it is under construction. We paid 135$ for the tank and nothing for...

I actually like water lettuce. I had used it in my pond and put it in my tank for the winter, I only put little peices in which are short, and they stayed almost flat with the water, however the can grow probably about 4inches out of the water, they do learn to stay short. Heres a pic: Zac

You might have luck trying to search "Marret Cap" Which is another name for it. We use that in Canada.

I got the bottom rim off!!!!! W/o any more broken glass I might add! Now I have to decide weather I want to attempt the newer cleaner very nice tank LOL.... Srry for dbl post...

Ha Ha, Finally got the top rim off... Not such good results... Now to start on the bottom rim. This rim has sooo much silicone its not even funny. Now I need to find some new glass :crazy: Zac

Today I attempted to combine two tanks by removing the two end peices. Didnt go so well. The silicone holding the top rim on was sooo strong after spending about an hour trying to get it loose enough the large side (not end) cracked from side to side. LOL... I'm not sure what I'll do but has...

No offense but you will never get a good hole through a CD case, they are VERY brittle, it will crack easily... If you do however.... Your Special! LOL Good idea though let us know if it works. Oh and on that note, I would use silicone! No drilling.

Ok well I only have 1 set up and these forums have boosted my initiative to actually use some of these, not sure what yet. (They are all really dirty from storing pond plants over the winter, I will clean them.) And I didnt feel like figuring out sizes so I put a pop can. :whistle...

Thats awesome! What pump are you using for your filter?? And can you put up a shot from further back of the filter so we can se a bit more of its location and 'complete' setup? Thx Zac

Had to change the dimension, wanted it 4' (H) 2.5' (W) and 6' (L) But the height can only be up to 3'. So heres the output info. Tank Information: Material = Glass Tank Height = 36" Tank Width = 30" Tank Length = 72 " Glass Thickness = 1/2" Approximate Gallons = 337 Cut List: Bottom...

Time Lapsed Video Something neat to check out, wish it was longer! Zac

I'm pretty sure for the size I want to make it, I would need 20mm thick glass. Thats really expensive isn't it???? Does anyone know a glass store? And thx for the response zig... Zac

I am thinking about building a GIANT tank in a spear room, I am wondering what is the maximum size of a glass tank that will support the water. Now to make that clearer, if I make a very large tank, what is the true maximum for a single pane of glass. The front panel I am scared may shatter...

Ok, I am a newb too so this isn't going to be good, I think the longer the tank sits and cycles the better, you want to get it to the proper temp before you put the fish in and make sure the temp is consistant for a day or two. For your fish you first have to decide what sort of kinds you want...

Well I have always loved fish and got an aquarium last year, just restcoked and cleaned my tank and now just found this forum to ask about my pleco, but hey! Maybe I'll stay! I am part of many forums, one of them is Planet Christmas I have been there for a while, and if your wondering what it...

Well I'm not really sure, just labeled as "pleco"...lol It is just a marine one I guess and its about the size of a regular tadpole. Hows that??? And Thanks for welcoming me! LOL Zac

Hello! I have a fresh water aquarium and my pleco has eaten soooo much! All of the algae is gone! I think you can put slices of fruit elasticed to a rock down on the bottom for them to eat. Is this what I should do? What fruit? Should I put some sort of algae starter in??? Thx Zac :fun:
