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?

Awesome, now I really want to flood my basement, and put a glass floor in my living room.

Haha, well I got a lottery ticket on, so there's still hope

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.
