Hello R2R Members,
I am planning on building a 240ish gallon acrylic tank. I'm planning on building all of the big components, tank, stand and sump.
I have a few questions for those who have built tanks in the past. I plan on using 3/4" cast acrylic, tank external dimensions are 94"L x 24"W x 30"H. Do you guys have any sources that provide you with material (acrylic) thickness to height recommendation chart. I have only found a few, some say 1/2" others 3/4" for the height that I am going for (30"). I plan on using 3/4" material for the bottom and side panels, the top panel is going to be 1/2" and all panels will be CNC routed. I attached some pictures of how I want the aquarium to look, as well as few assembly views and the tank joints (blue).
I don't plan on keeping corals, fish only, for now.
