G'day all
I was wondering if anyone here has had some Experience with Acrylic Tanks? I am wondering this because the tank I had plan to build from Glass may just be too heavy to move. The general dimensions on the tank are around 60x30x30 (inch) 230ish gals, is there anything restricting me from making this size of tank out of Acrylic? Is there any bracers that would be needed for the centre? Would the tickness of the Acrylic eliminate the need for a brace?
I recently found out that my "God Mother" works in a large Acrylic business, generally working on government and large Franchise projects. An Acrlyic tank WOULD be lighter, but would there need to be any additional support for it (I plan on going very thick Acrylic to eliminate the need for supports IF, and only IF the extra thick walls will help)?
EDIT: I have read in multiple forums on here about people using arcylic CYLINDER tanks, however I do not think I have come across anyone with an Acrylic tank that is Rectangular and of this size...
