I got the glass from a restaurant my company bought. I got a ton of free glass there and designed this tank based on what I recovered. These panes are tempered and almost 1/4" thick. You can also buy similar pieces online for about $90 each if you're wealthy enough.
This was a pretty cheap build overall at less than $300. I based the design off the glass I recovered for free and snagged most of the wood for free as well. The hardware, paint, epoxy, etc. was to blame for the cost. I'm very happy with the end result but it took me a long while to throw it together. Thanks for watching.
They are small by themselves but together these braces can support an Elephant. A gallon of water weighs 8.34 lbs. That's only around 2,500 lbs. total.
@@dustintheriverrat First I thank you for your response. Your fish tank is very beautiful. I want to make one, but in my country, the wooden fish tank is almost never done, and is very primitive. There are very few references available
@@buihoainam6196the only reference anyone who is serious needs is in your hand! You also didn't mention where you are from? Any who, by a lot of people who live in a lot of different Countries that are also on RU-vid figured out how to get the materials and the rest I have to assume that someone is usually interested in having something interesting and they are typically successful in the end . Looks like you can get a bunch of things to do the construction. Everything has a price and it looks like the options are going to be very good quality and costs more up front , but it has been very well documented and I think it's better to do it for the future than try to cut the corners just to save whatever currency in your.... doesn't matter but the bible says cheap ain't good , and good ain't cheap . Primitive is exactly what you came across in your comment and I don't care either way , people have been enjoying luxury for a long time , wood is a renewable material depending on the obvious , but we are not so get busy building or get busy doing whatever it is. Lol 😊
