Build my own aquarium

Question

Where can I find websites who explain, step by step - how to make a big 1000 gallon cement aquarium, thickness of the glass etc

Answer 1

what are you building it for sharks or a giant reef

Answer 2

I don't know of any websites for this info what I do know is you will need to determine the sizes of glass you want and then talk to your local glass shop and order tempered glass if you use anything but tempered glass the glass will break under the presure my 125 gallon tank uses 1/2 inch I would think the glass shop could advise you on glass thickness but I am thinking you would need a thickness of 1 to 2 inches

it may be cheaper and safer if you researched and found a company the specilized on making custom tanks

other than marine land the largest tank I have seen was at the mall in fargo,nd it was around 10 to 14 feet long over 6feet tall and like 6 feet wide according to my calucations that means it was over 1000 gallons but I didn't mesuare it so this is a very rough guess
