Has anyone built their own tank like from scratch? I have come across several sets of plans to build your own tank most involve alot of wood, sanding, and only glass on the front. So I guess I was wondering if anyone has built one and how well it worked (or worth the trouble).

A 6gal....lol For smaller odd shaped tanks, yes its worth the trouble. And its really not that much trouble for a small tank. As you get bigger it gets harder. I've never done anything with wood/glass but i have seen it done. I just use glass, but again....only a 6gal.

I basically took glass panes from the glass shop cut to size and with pre sanded edges and siliconed them together myself.

A small all glass is cool but I am thinking big like 200 gallon + the plans I saw were for a 300 gallon.
