- Do you have any experience with tools?
- Do you have the right tools?
- Can you locate the supplies you need?
- Do you have an area in which to build a tank (and I presume, a stand)?
You didn't specify what shape the tank needs to be . . . so I figure that if you just start gluing all the glass together . . . . eventually you'll get some sort of shape that will hold some water ! LOL
the question isn't can you build a box of glass that holds water, the question is can you build a box of glass that holds water AND looks good (nice seams, etc.) at the same time.
u proibably already knew this, but test it b4 u put fish in (it's a duh!)
I do not mean to insult u and make u feel stupid, cuz I'm sure ur not, but good luck with it, I think u can do it
I think you could, especially with help from a teacher. As was mentioned it's not really whether you can make it, but can you make it and make it look good?
I would contact a couple of tank makers and ask them for tips, if there's one local, they might let you see one being made which will really help I think.
Good look with it, take pics as you go along and let us see.
I deffinatly think you should, but wether you can is a different matter. If you dont have all the tools its best to get the glass pre-cut. Then you can simply seal them together yourself with aquarium sealant and a razor blade.
Oh and if you are planning on making a large tank, don't completly dismiss the idea of having a metal frame around it.
Not worth it for me! I'd rather pay more and be sure that it doesn't leak than to risk having a leaky tank in my house! I'm tight financially, but not that desperate yet...
EDIT: By the way, my 15g was a used tank, and I did remove silicone and re-applied it. I know it can be done, and I did risk 15g worth of water, but I'm a too much of a chicken to gamble 50+g of water...
