Re: fish rooms

["M.LIEBANES" <M.LIEBANES@terra.es>]

I'm sorry to ask this question so late in proceedings, but I'm very 
much into D.I.Y and it's been nagging away at me ever since I read this 
posting; what is the glass thickness? I'm about to move house and want 
to build a fully kitted fish room and thought that the 10s 20s and 30s 
all sounded interesting, especially such a long low one as a 30 long! 
can you specify the thickness of glass on these tanks as I'd like to 
have a go at building a batch (so far I've rebuilt a 20 high and a 
115). If anyone is interested I have some photos of the 115 in process 
of rebuilding. Someday I'll get round to putting them on a web site 
(but not now, I've got too many things on my plate).
C:-)lin.
PS my next BIG tank will be a 2m x1.2m x0.4m tank, but that'll also 
have to wait...
