    No matter how many UA-camrs “hang out” at Custom Aquariums, I’ll never tire of seeing their warehouse operations. You sir have just served me up another hefty slice of happy pie😀 with this upload.

    Are we ever going to see a breakthrough on affordable BIG aquariums?..some super substance that is strong clear and cheap but reliable, to manufacture?
    One day I hope.

  • @nemo_neil

    I see that they use some kind of tiny round small packing between the two glass when they silicone. (2:54). I suppose this allows a thicker silicone seal where the two ends meet which results in a stronger bond.

  • @mikefinley4367
    @mikefinley4367 2 роки тому

    Awesome & comical. Why funny? I sat down thinking of a better way to construct tanks and came across this and it's exactly what I decided was the best option. I'm not talking the machinery involved or tech but the end product. Because of the tech and machinery involved it's faster to produce than without it but can be done requiring patients and the question for anyone accepting the challenge to make such a tank is do you want one that won't blow apart or be ok with that. No, it's not affordable for the average fish keeper to purchase or maintaining it. One huge tank being filtered, heated, etc, is comparible to the expense of a moderate fish store expense in utility costs. That said, this is the way to build a tank aside from some one piece injected acrylic system involving the complexity of a custom mold and any one piece bottom and sides will still require bracing. How did I mentally come to the same idea being produced here? I used to be a glazer and worker with glass and metal frames.
