Help me on building a frameless aquarium please...
I'm planning on building a 160x60x60cm freshwater tank.
The problem is I'm not sure if the tank will be strong enough to support the water pressure without a proper framing. From where I'm from, all the tanks are made frameless. It's all glass with nothing on the sides, but they have euro bracing. My question is, can I build one with such size using a 12mm glass and euro bracing? |

Re: Help me on building a frameless aquarium please...
i was just reading about someone doing a build like this today. You will need at least 1/2 inch (12.7mm) glass to sustain the load.

Should be fine.... normal pressure cut-off for non-framed tanks is 30 inches..... 75 cm.
