Two larger tanks out of one smaller one?
A while back I bought a 55gal tank during one of those $/gal events. It is very low tech, breeding ground for cherry shrimp and hair algae.
I enjoy working with wood, and keep thinking about cutting the tank up, and building a plywood double tank structure, using the front and back glass as new front glasses, increasing the depth from 13 to maybe 20 inches, with one tank on the bottom and one above, integrated in a plywood stand.
Is there anything wrong with the idea? Would a plywood tank need a thicker glass than a comparable glass tank for some reason? Any other things I should consider?
