this is what i have been looking for, how thick is the plexi. going start looking for a dealer in oklahoma. going to build a den next year and want to build it in the wall. please update some new photos so we can see it up great job

1.5 inch

so if i understand this right, it's corrugated plastic sheets right? the same that people write on and hang on telephone poles saying "will buy your house" etc right?

it's heat welded to hold water, but the metal around the outside holds the shape and keeps the water weight in check right?

is this a realistic DIY job for a casual mfker?

with help from cichladog we have turned the sheets of polypropylene ( 0.5 inch) and a piece of plexi (1.5 inch) left over from the tank conversion project...

Being a somewhat new aquarist, I have to ask, won't the metal screws in the tank eventually rust? That has always been on my mind.

Not if they're stainless

Oh, that makes more sense. So all stainless steel metal will not rust?
