Is it hard?

[Ethos]

Is it hard to build your own aquariums? How long does it take? My dad has expiernce with plexi glass, does that help?

I'm not sure but I don't believe plexi glass is suitable for aquarium use. I think you need to use tempered glass.

 

[Silly me]

plexi glass is great for aquarium use..

make sure you use the right thickness for the size of tank..

For guidance on building tanks you have got to love Garf's webpage

Plexi Glass is great for aquariums, however it is not easy to work with and i would suggest building a small tank first and getting used to working with Plexi-Glass before attempting a serious project. Wood and Glass tanks are much easier to work with and very simple projects in the grand scheme of things when dealing with DIY in aquariums.

The following link is very informative, it contains links to several webpages including ReefCentral.. The true masters of Acrylic.
