    Interesting. I've never heard of anyone not putting a bead of silicone down before attaching the two pieces of glass together. Perhaps the added support helps but I personally wouldn't skip that step (I overbuild everything 😊). Hopefully your tank lasts a very long time. Thanks for the video....

    Well its good to see videos like this once in a while to stay normal. The moment i saw duct tape i had all the confidence in your craftsmanship and i'm pretty sure all the experienced hobbyists will agree with that. 😊
    Have a few doubts apart from the build, if you could let me know.
    1. How many days you let the silicone to cure ?
    2. When to add water ?
    3. When to add fish ?
    4. How often do we need to change water and the volume ?
    5. How effective is that filtration (if it is) ?
    Thank you 😊

    Whats the thinking of not puting any silicone between the glass pieces? Is it that the tank was small enought and doesnt need the extra bonded support? Thanks.

    I’m an engineer. And this is totally incorrect. The layout of glass and acrylic tanks are different. Glass panels are secured to the vertical sides of bottom panel. Not resting atop like acrylic.
