That's the greatness of a tank that size, you have to be inside it to aquascape.

is this a serious thread??

i think the best way to make it is out of concrete. w/ three viewable sides.

to hold the water pressure at that height I would agree with the concrete.
your looking at some real thick plexi for the viewing also.
I'd call Joe over at atlantis aquarium in riverhead and ask him for advice / recommendations.

Ha! I was just thinking the very same thing. He has a power point presentation that he uses when he gives presentations about the tank build. He may even forward it to you.

At the very least it's worth a trip out there to see

Can he get that made rimless, or does he need a center brace on a glass tank that size?:bigeyes: Given the thickness of glass he'll need, I guess he should go with Starfire glass to avoid that green look.

the only reason i see a need for a centerbrace is for a walkway. a tank made of concrete and plexi does not need a centerbrace
