king vinnies has a great DIY section
http://www.kingvinnie.com/aquaria/di...age.asp?cat=46
also recall seeing a couple of pictorials , seemed fairly basic
tape was used on outside of the tank to hold glass whilst silicone cured
ensure you use aquarium safe silicon
alternatively buy right angle plastic and use on all corners , protects the glass from early chips when being moved too
not sure what size tanks willl need bracing etc

RE Tips On Making DIY Fish Tanks
All measurments are in inches 1/4 in thick glass
Two 48" x 18" front and back pieces
Two 18" x 13.5 "ends
One 47.5" X 13.5" bottom. The bottom goes inside so sides do not sit on bottom of tank. Makes it easy to assemble as well.
Tank will measure when put togeather 48" long x 18" high x 14" wide
Make two braces 2' wide x 45' long for inside front and back
Three braces 4" wide x 13' long end and centre baces.
Any comments or additions welcome.
