Does Anyone Know how to Make an aquarium?

Does Anyone Know how to make an aquarium, or knows a link that shows how to make an aquarium?
I'm Thinking of Making my own Aquarium instead of buying one.

Welcome to Fish Lore
You can try this link garf.org
Look under the DIY link on the left.
I can't vouch for it, I've never made a tank.

Good luck.

If you entered 36 x 36 x 36 it would be a 202g tank.
You'll need to enter what you want the actual length, width and height to be.

As long as you get a good seal yes. With a larger tank you might want some cross bracing or euro bracing. That one is only about 5gal, so it needed minimal support.

Yeah,
I guess You Would need more support For larger tank, to hold Up all the water.

And the thicker the glass, the less extra support it would need. Provided the seals are good.
