I get some tanks cheaper than a dollar per gallon, I paid 55usd for my 70 lol

not a bad idea, but I doubt there's an easy way to do it......plus one of them is BRAND new......not even sure how I would do it and if it would even be structurally safe

There's a thread on here where a guy combined three 55g into one long tank, it was pretty cool.

k, thnx

and just seal the plywood w/ waterproof paint or polyurethane or what? How would a 48" X 12" + a 48" X 12" = 48" X 48"? Wouldn't it be 48"X 24"?

No you have 4 x 48 length of glass, lots of threads and youtube clips on how to do it

Yea, took me a few hours and 3 stitches to take an old 150 gal apart. Should take about a day to do both tanks as long as you don't bleed to death
