In this video learn how to calculate glass pane dimensions to make a new Aquarium. Whatever the thickness of glass. Use this method to know the dimensions you need to make an aquarium.
Lovely video....I am making a 3’ W x 2’ H x 20” D in 12 mm glass.... I have cut the right and left glass 1” less considering 24 mm of the front and back glass... As you said there should be 2mm extra for silicone... Will it create any problem if the side glass panels are less 24mm or should I get them sanded 2 mm more so it will be 26mm.... Would appreciate your help
Luckily I am looking for the exact dimensions, I don't need to calculate. Thank you so much. Can also recommend the type or brand of glue that we can use?
Thank you for this video. Just to make sure, do you subtract 2mm on each side of the side panel for silicone in other words 4mm in total per side panel shorter or 1mm on each side making it a total of 2mm shorter?

Hi Bro, Thank you very much for detailed presentation and calculation. This is exactly what I was looking for. I am so happy and satisfied with the measurements. Just wanted to double check with you before I start fixing the tank. As per your presentation in #179, you used 4 short Ribs and 2 long Ribs 24". However her in this video you have given 4 long Ribs 35".25' by 2" and 2 short Ribs 14".25' Can you please advise how and where would you wish to fix the long Ribs?? Is it inside bottom and top 34".25' by 2" ?? Please advise. Or is it like as per the tank shown in #158?
The tank was quite long so I install more long rips i.e. 2 in upper frame and 2 inside the tank at bottom. Simple rule is to make tank more stronger. If tank is long then use more long rips and if tank is small then use more smaller rips
bro some people dont put all the sides on top of the base, they put the front and back on the side and only the tank sides on the top of the base. whats the difference ? can you pleae explain?thanks
