This is atleast 2k if not 3k if brought from a store. Yet this wonderful bro, made it for 800$. Talk about savings.

WOW.. Your wife must really love you. Taking up a whole room for an aquarium.
I'm looking forward to seeing the build.

Hi Joey, I am in the process to build me the same aquarium you did. The one with plywood bottom and 4 glass. I'm building it just like yours. Thanks. YOUR THE

Holy crap man.  Ive been planning a new build and wanted a 72x72x24 aquarium.  I cant believe you have one and you even show how to build it.  You effing rock dude.

Hi, first of all I must appreciate of what you are doing and keep it up :)

I actually want to build in-wall aquarium. The measurement I want are as follows

54" x 24" x 48" (HxDxW)

I was thinking to make a wooden frame and fit the glass on both sides (front and back).

The suggestion/help I need for you is what glass thickness should I use?

Also as I'll be using plywood for the sides. To waterproof this, is liquid rubber good choice to go with? Or should I stick glass on the sides as well on top of plywood?

No issue with budget...

Looking forward for your reply. Thanks

Just showed my dad some of your videos, I have a feeling we have one massive project in our future because of this series you've made.

Indoor Swimming Pool for the kids! Awesome built as always. Thanks for the How to info

[spinosa]

Pure inspiration right here! This is an INCREDIBLE build! Thanks so much for posting this series!!

[grumbeard]

You know this would be a perfect aquarium for a japanese home. I mean they mostly sit on the floor and this would be just the perfect hight. Food for thought.

[djsplash]

Nice. Looking foreway to see the finish projet. Great job so far.

[jaysonmetsfan]

Nice aquarium! Can't wait to see the rest of the series!! Waiting for the plumbing!!

My favourite part of the hobby is when you release the fish into the new environment, although it might be one of the last stages, its still worth it :P

Have you thought of using bed liner for waterproofing the bottom? you know the spray on stuff they use to line pick up truck beds

[rtasvaduum]

Hey Joe, glass tends to get a bit more dangerous when used for tanks any larger than this so I was wondering if you knew if there is there a material out there that acts similar to Acrylic but cannot be scratched (or at least is as scratch resistant as glass)? I'm looking into building a 500 gallon (long aquarium) for my baby Common Pleco :D

Very nice vids, thanks for posting! I kept dart frogs and i love building false backgrounds and bottoms for them, but soon i was thinking about building my own tank or aquascape/viv/terrarium combo. I subbed!
