Building an Oasis
 

So.... where should I begin..
I woke up this morning, and i remembered dreaming of an oasis..
Went to the store bought supplies to build it...

Your tank's volume is approximately 12,364.2 cubic inches or 53.5 U.S. gallons, which is approximately 208.2 liters.

What kind of sealent are you using?

silicone 100% transparent waterproof, dry in 3 hrs ;)
It not toxic when dry... its my 3rd built tank

Interesting idea...I've built a couple tanks, that glass looks frighteningly thin for 53.5 gallons. But then I use glass way thicker than necessary just for my own peace of mind. Look forward to seeing he progress though!

Looks nice, it looks like you have two separate bottom pieces or am I seeing things?

I just noticed that, it does look like there is 2 piece of glass on bottom.

Perhaps the bottom will be the front? Looks like it only goes half way

hi! all my home-built tanks are made with resistant tempered glass. also i use more sealant than on regular framed tanks. it holds!

And yes! the bottom is made of 2 panels!

I read you made a few other tanks you've used two pieces also? Guess it doesn't really matter as long as you silicone good and don't move it at all with water in it.. I'll be following to watch progress of build :) how much did you pay for the glass?

More pics coming in a few hours... will do the water test very soon... Of to get some rocks :)
Thanks for ur nice comments ppls, much luv !

will this be a fish tank coffee table?

Not a coffee table ;)
