I wanted to have a go at making my own custom tank. Size will be 1000x500x400. It will be braceless and made from 12mm thick Optiwhite glass.
The thing is, I`m struggling to find anything online in regards to the best/safest way to align the pieces. I don`t know if it would be best to use the base as the foundation of the construction and bond the sides, front, and rear sections to this? Shown below.
Or offset the side sections away from the main base section fixing only the front and rear bottom faces to the main base section?
Hopefully somebody with some experience in aquarium construction can point me in the right direction, or if anybody would be kind enough to check how their braceless tanks are configured I would be extremely grateful?
Also. Is it necessary to have all edges polished and bevelled at the manufacturing stage?
