Hey, does anyone have any experience building there own tanks? And if so are there any tricks or tips you could give?

Also are there kits to do it yourself available that people would recommend

Built plenty of acrylic.. are you going glass or acrylic?

you have 2 options glass or acrylic i don't know of any kits that exist. i have made both glass and acrylic and in my personal opinion i think glass is easier where you just have the glass cut out and build it with tape and silicone. as with acrylic you have to worry about getting a good seal and being bubble free.

Thank you!!! Either or, i just don’t want to pay insane amounts for bigger tanks when i could build it myself cheaper. Although i will start with a smaller tank first
