Hello,
I am going to make my own custom tank. It is going to be 72" long x 48" high x 48"deep. for a total of 96 cubic feet. I am going to use 3/4 " CYRO Acrylate GP for all 4 sides. And yes I have the mathmatical equations for calcutaing the necessary thickness. If anyone needs them...let me know. Anyway...
I had some questions about the adhesive, and the joint system I am going to make. I will be making a toungue and groove route in the edges to have maximum strength. I want to know what any of you other self tankers out there think about this?
I plan on using either a cyanoacrylate adhesive or a Tyrite Urethane Adhesive, but don't know which would be better?
I have also heard that Weldon #4 w/ Weldon #16 on top from AIM Plastics in NJ is good...someone have some advice?
After the tank is finished I am going to make a wooden frame for it. I was going to use oak and have it span the corner edges of the tank for added support. I know that I will lose some of my viewing privledges, but the thought of it being strong is important, if anyone has a better idea for corner supports throughout the tank please let me know.
I hope that you wonderful people can give me some good or better ideas than what I have.
Thanks ,
