building the monster aquarium for the new tropical fish shop which measures 2.9m2 x 1.2 x 700 mm and will hold 700 gallon or 3500 litres including the sump. This video is unedited due to lack of technical knowledge lol. The main challenge building this aquarium was the temperature been so cold and the silicone not wanting to come out the tube, please watch other videos on how we are converting a poly tunnel into a magical fish emporium.
Special thanks to Dan, Darren & Chris for helping

I agree with aaaheim, oils from your hands on the joints will cause it to fail. Also, a tall tank like that should have bracing. Thanks gonna be a mess when that tank fails.

I've seen this style done before but why didn't you use a single pane of glass for that 2nd layer of the tank bottom? I would think having it in two parts would make it very weak.

I am planning a similar build, I appreciate the post of this video and the insight offered. I am wanting to build a 96"x60"x28"tall aquarium. This video has helped me tremendously. Did you do any additional bracing or was just the silicone sufficient to handle that volume of water? Very curious to learn the science on this any info helps! Thank you in advance!

I like the idea of double bottom. I am building an aquarium of 1.3 mt by 55 cm and 80 cm height with 10mm glass. For the base I am thinking of gluing a 4 mm acrylic on top of the bottom glass, a little narrower than the base just for safety, in case something gets dropped on it. Do you think it's a good idea?

@DramaticAquatics 7 жыл бұрын

yes a double base is a great idea.

@juliusesarda 6 жыл бұрын

Dramatic Aquatics How about a really thick glass for the base instead of double, is that possible? I don't know if there's a glass thicker than 10mm. please tell me. Thanks.

@skdaquatics-plywoodaquariu4462 5 жыл бұрын

if your tank is 80cm tall 10mm glass will not be able to with stand the pressure. I would not go under 15mm for a tank that tall. Common rule is the taller the tank the thicker the glass has to be. Hope this helps

This is amazing. I would love to see this tank holding water though. I wouldn't trust those sides just held together with silicone...especially for a tank this size. I would have the corners reinforced with aluminium edges. But I guess that these guys are professionals and know what they are doing. Assembled it in record time too. Inspiring.
