I am building an glad 6ft x 6ft x 2ft aqrium I'm going to build it out off two six foot tank with a plywood bottom. What do u think
 
I've seen a few videos on YouTube of guys doing something similar to that. It looks amazing!
I think the biggest issue is, is the glass thick enough on the 6ft tanks to cope with all the additional water pressure? You don't want a tank that huge bursting open.
Also, you'd have no choice but to build it where it's going to be placed.
 
I wouldn't try it but that's me I don't have that kind of luck to try something like that.
 
That would essentially be tripling the pressure on each pane of glass. I highly doubt they'll stand up to it.
 
Thanks every one bit I think i will build it with extra bracing and and wood support running all around the eges to help with all the pressure
