I was wondering if it would be possiable to take two 75 gallon tanks and just use the sides of the tank with a plywood bottom , I would do braceing across the center and ends with the extra glass i got from the bottom of the tank , I was just curious if this would be possiable or would it just blow out
 
Anything is possible, but from a risk management perspective, it doesn't seem like a good idea.
 
have you watched these YT vids?


of course you dont have to go so big but he has many plywood bottom build videos worth a watch.
he uses tempered railing glass.

guessing the idea was the you could pick up 2 -75 gal from petco and cut them down?
worth looking into thinker glass . I know there is a huge debate on tempered vs non tempered out there.
there are a few aquarium glass calculators out there. they will tell you the thickness of glass to use for what type of build.
what size are you thinking of building?

here is another plywood bottom build that has inspired me.
 
My kid works at petco, was think ither two 75 or two 60's and was going to do euro braceing
