Okay I have some questions.i want to build a new setup, dimensions 120L X 60 X 60 rimless! Can I get away with 10mm glass and have no bracing on the top of the tank? Want to have nice clean look with pendant style lighting
hello jose
my thoughts are that 10 or 12mm glass when you put silicon the glass to stick the aquarium together, the surface area were the silicon holds the glass glass is far greater than say with 6 or 8. you can make a rimless tank with 6 or 8mm glass but making one the size i want 120 x 60 x 60 will not work with out a euro brace or central brace. if we down size the build eg. (im just guessing here) 90 x 40 x 40 with 8mm you may get away without having any brace on the top and achieve a rimless tank. so what i want to know at what point will my build be be safe or not 120 x 45 x 45 0r 120 x 50 x 50 0r 120 x 60 x60? i know its not the length but the height when building a tank that makes the difference. i want to know what i can get away with
only 55 high though and if you look at the 5' version its the same height and made from 19mm so it must be somewhere close to the limit. I wonder what safety factor they used
So I'm in the market for some new gear want to buy some lighting. I'm looking at two different manufacturers tmc aquaria grobeams 1000/1500. And the Kessingland a160we tuna sun. With both systems I'd have to buy 3 units and id buy the controller. what does you guys and gals think? We're is the best place to shop for the tmc? Doug
