For various reasons, I need an uncommon sized tank. I might have to try building it myself. Is that a reasonable idea? The YouTube videos make it look easy!?
I'm thinking all glass only because that's what I'm most familiar with.From all glass or plexi, or from wood with a viewing window on one side?

Oh, THAT is cool!! ?Don't know if they still make these "low boy" tanks...great for snakes before those hideously inhumane shoebox racks became all the rage:
This is really cool, but the footprint is too big, I'm afraid. Her tank is in our dining room, along with Nelson's tank. Both are 40 gallon breeders (36" x 18"). I REALLY like having them where we sit every day, so I've got to make it fit the existing space.Don't know if they still make these "low boy" tanks...great for snakes before those hideously inhumane shoebox racks became all the rage:
They should come in other sizes, if zoomed still makes them. Contact them for inventory/availability.This is really cool, but the footprint is too big, I'm afraid.

But thanks a lot for this reference- It will get filed away for possible future use!
He scored badly. I can't blame him because its hard to do. You need a way to fix a metal rule to the aquarium to rest the scorer against. It needs to be firm enough to put a fair bit of pressure against, and stay in place to go back over with another score if necessary... I imagine he just held it in place and it slipped around.For the love of Chelonia, kids, use protective goggles and heavy gloves!
I can't tell if he scored inconsistently, or if the glass cracked crooked on its own...but who doesn't love some DIY engineering!
