Glass shelving

[Witfull]

back to topic, glass shelves is not a good idea. breakage! plain and simple. rock breaks glass. and with the way we all play in our tanks, the way snails move things around, fish and inverts dig, a land slide or a rock or two falling can and will happen. this could have only minor effects or major effects.simply having shards of glass in the tank that will cut you and your fish to having a Major rock slide breaking the tank. there are other options available as stated above.
just my 37 cents worth. (i account for inflation)

LOL on the inflation, glass break would be my biggest concern. I know my hands are in my tank everyday. I get cut and scratched on the rocks. I would hate to have broken glass to look out for also.

Used Aquarium Silicone, Silicone I, in my sump/refugium and it is holding the plexiglass and regular glass beautifully!
