Hey guys,

does anyone know of someone who can build me a frag tank?
I am reaching out to LFS's for a quote from planet - but have had no success yet.

If there is any local builders who can help - that will be great too.
Anyone know?

24 wide x 20 deep x 12 high.

Glass
Rimless
Black silicone
Black back
External overflow
3/4" bulk head return holes (one of each side in the back)

What's your comfort level on DIY?
I took a stab at one a bit smaller than your dimensions recently. Turned out not bad. Next one will be better

i dont mind DIY to be honest... but its a risk i would rather not take.
ddid you follow any guidance from a websit or something?
something i can read up on in order to make sure i dont make any mistakes gluing the seams properly.

it would definitely be cheap to build it.

Yep, I used this video as a guide:


It was pretty easy in practice. The only change I would suggest is using masking tape to make nice straight lines with your Silicone on each panel.

I am gonna build my own :)
Haven’t started yet. But I think a frag tank of that size should be easy to build.
