Laying Acrylic as Tank Base

[Bigfoot1989]

Hello bro. Can 2x1.5ft tank do it too? Haha. Temping to do it.

very tempted to try since west side got shop.. but my bottom bracing is 2 inch all round... funny.. tank by sgbro aka tank junction. build last year only.

1 question.. when in place, can you see the silicon of the bottom bracing? the acrylic covers it or totally can see because the acrylic rest on the bottom glass, no gap between the acrylic and bottom glass?

thanks for your time.

Use corrugated sheet try out first . Ur tank should be easy . Lenght maybe minus off 5mm ..... Width minus off 3mm . I guessing 1 whole pc should be able to fit in .

Bro ... i think u still dunno how to measure the bracing .... when u measure from infront ur tank .... there will be a illusion seeing the bracing smaller .
Just buy corrugated sheet and cut to my dimension and see can fit first .

I really dun have time to slowly whatsapp u guys .... see how occelatus measure the bracing and EOS side . Good Luck !

I have to say, the dimensions given by flairtender was way accurate especially the width. It was a perfect fit. Thks bro!

There is a big different after putting in the white acrylic.. the whole tanks look much brighter and clearer.. swee..
