madman your better off getting regular glass and having them drill holes in the bottom for you(or do it yourself). i dont think anyone knows anyway that glass and acrylic will bond tightly enough for it to hold water. Silicone WILL NOT work,, weld-on WILL NOT work,,i wish ic an help yaya on this one!!

30 thats it! Man it would be worth that just for the glass! I did a search for denver glass and got lots of hits. Right now I'm cleaning my office so I be doing that for a while and then I get to it. Yes I want the site I shoot you an email. Have any idea why it cracked or if its tempered?. Man for 30 I'll play with it!
I'll be back with some Q+A's

yea thats why i built this one.. i saw a 180 at my LFS that came with a stand and all for $2200...it was the ugliest flimsiest looking stand i ever saw..it was some kind of metal, with cheap doors on it, and i asked if he could give me the tank with a wood stand and he said of course,,it would only be $3200 witht he oak stand..
thats when i knew i was onto my next "tank" project. i would bet i can sell this tank for some good money

OK guys, just bought that tank! I'm getting it tomorrow. Now it's time for some fun! Also have another buddy who's holding some more 1/2" panels for me from a 180. No guts No glory and besides I think I need new carpet in my family room anyway. LOL
You have to remember its not the materials that cost! Its the insurance, overhead and etc........

Yeah OK! Until one of "OUR" tanks floods a two story apartment complex and "we" get sued!
But then again I knew my wife would come in handy sometime...........
