Building cube tank

[GreenSpottedPuffer]

Marlin thats a very nice tank!

Would probably be a bit bigger than I can fit though. I have to stay under 21" long. The tank is going in a little area in the wall that is about 21 1/4" wide.

You will not be able to see the two sides either, so starphire on the sides is kind of useless.

Thanks for the offer though...it's a very nice tank!

In the end, I may just go with a Nano cube although I just am not a huge fan of the look.

when doing tank measurements how much space do you give yourself. Like if i wanted a 20x20x18 tank with 1/4in glass would it be like 201/4 cuts?? Do you have to measure extra for the silicone?

I think most tank builders, build tanks with the dimensions to the outside edge of the glass, would just have to request that the dimensions are what you want inside the glass.

I was thinking of getting one from there.

What dimensions and how much?

But price depends on the size of the tank. Ask for Nick 604 514-34-74

the front and back pieces would be 20 X 18 the sides would be 19 3/4 X 18

silicone should only be 1 or 2 mm thick so the throw out wont be noticable

but if your getting someone to build it just tell them the dimentions.

if your going rimless deffently sandwich the sides around the bottem. it looks much better.
