Epoxy Resin Tanks

[Lenna1]

Just need some help in regards to making a tank out of a one piece no seam epoxy resin tank.
Would it be something people would buy ?

Bisphenol-A (BPA), is a known endocrine disruptive agent and is a main building block of epoxy resin.

That doesn't sound very good in an aquarium sales pitch.

I don't know if marine-grade epoxy resin would be suited for the task and If cured aquarium safe epoxy would be "clear" enough to be used.

Thank you for your response. There are epoxy resins with no BPA and food safe. I'm sure I can make it and it will be as clear as glass. My issue is doing so and putting money into it will there be a demand for them ?

If you can put out a product that competes with acrylic regarding:

Price
Does not yellows as much with age
And a good resistance to scratches

You can have a wining combination. That is why glass remains an unbeatable product for smaller tanks.

Much appreciated.
What would be the best dimensions for a tank or the most popular size L × W× H
I don't mind making one and letting someone test it.

Probably 10 gallons: 20” L x 10” W x 12” H.
