Hey I'm in the design stages of building a mega tank and I wanted to ask. Are your viewing panels glass or acrylic also how and what did you use to seal them?

They are 1" thick glass, can't remember what he sealed them with, it's mentioned in the build, but I believe it's silicone, perhaps ge1 or Dow?

Sir.. Thank you for sharing all of this with MFK. Your dedication to the hobby has inspired me for years! Owning a tank of this size is on my bucket list because of this thread. Thank you.

Yes I used glass and GE1200 silicone.

There are some excellent tanks built on this site that used acrylic.

Very glad you enjoyed it and I'm sure your fish will love the tank when you build it and get it off your bucket list.
