How Big Can I Go?

[Robaidh]

Hi folks

I am looking and building 2 custom tanks. I would rather use glass rather than acrylic as I have a local window maker so I can get glass from him. I am wondering how big can I go with a glass tank like the dimensions? Length hight and depth. Thanks Robaidh

well the size of the tank is dependent on the thickness of glass you have. if your willing to buy glass 4 feet thick then your tank could be upwords of 2000 gallons. i dont know the exact equation for this relationship for thickness of glass and size of tank but you could probably find it online somewhere
