info on the tank build so far.
the plexi was donated, but is not really glue-able do to the type it is. decided to try a screw and silicone method. i went through many "test" runs with some scrap. first i tried a machine screw and tapping the threads, but that did not work too well. i ended up with a #8x1" coarse thread screw and drilled the holes about the diameter of the shank and counter sunk the hole for the screw head. I made the wood base to support the weight and help prevent the bottom of the sides from bowing out. the top braces help a lot to keep everything stable too. I plan on adding some nice wood trim to cover all of the screws and wood base. so far i am into this build for about $20. if anyone wants anymore info or have any questions or comments let me know.
