| Angel Girl's Daddy | Re: Varga's 300 Gallon In-Wall Build!!!!!!!!!!!! Well since your going ahead with this I will help out all i can. How do you plan on installing the front pane? I am glad your shopping around for the glass. It would really suck if you invested over a grand for a piece of glass that could blow out. If you can go 3/4" on the front pane that would be awesome! If clarity is a big deal you might want to look into using 1" acrylic. nothing will be clearer or stronger. It will be cheaper then glass also and you can drill it and screw it.

| Midas Blenny | Re: Varga's 300 Gallon In-Wall Build!!!!!!!!!!!! Hey Varg, Frankie's got a point, but you wouldn't need 1" acrylic, you could easily use 3/4". It would be less expensive and easier to work with. Just a suggestion. ![]()

| Angel Girl's Daddy | Re: Varga's 300 Gallon In-Wall Build!!!!!!!!!!!! Now thats a deal! You would need help anyhow. That size glass is heavy. To have a glass guy there to help is a major plus imo. I'll have to check out the link tonight.

| Reef Lobster | Re: Varga's 300 Gallon In-Wall Build!!!!!!!!!!!! you may not want to get out of it once you see how good yours turns out, & it'll give you practice for the next tank you build. thats how i got started doing landscape/irrigation. i was working on my parents' lawn, & their neighbor asked if i could help him & he would pay me.
