Hey Wendle, where the h*ll were you when I needed you!!!!
It's a little late for all the good advice now!
Just kidding.
I'm thrilled to have you post here. Thanks!
The whole point of my putting anything up at all is to spread the knowledge. If you can top mine, by all means please do! Better for everyone!
I'm not sure why I assembled the bottom across all the panes. There was some process of evaluation based on internet available information, and that was my conclusion. But I can certainly see a great benefit in what you are suggesting. Not the least of which having to buy fewer tools, and just being easier. The way I did it was a PITA.
I'm curious about the trimming... do you mean that you just trim the inside seams flush with the edge, so there really is no seam, other that what is between the glass?
Also, what size tanks have you constructed like this? And can you offer additional insight into appropriate thicknesses?
Thanks a mil' for posting Wendle. Can't wait to hear more!
