Tank Question

[froggiez]

LOL...Depends on when they are having the sale.

I'm just saying if you can get the tank at the dollar sale it would be better and look nicer than trying to glue two tanks together.

[froggiez]

yea you are probably right, I will check around about it.

I just called the one I was speaking of and they said they aren't having the sale, they just had one in june.

There is a 20-gallon extra high, it has the same foot print as a ten-gallon, but is twice the height. I paid $70 for mine. No, Petco does not carry this size.

Not too long ago, I made a tank. I bought a used 5-gallon and applied a silicone de-bonding agent called Lift-Off to it. I cleaned the parts all up and used the frames and the bottom plate of glass to build the new tank. I went to my local hardware store and bought four panes of glass that had the same lengths as the old panes, but these new ones are twice the height. I used silicone and glued all the parts together, so now I have a 11 gallon tank with a 5.5-gallon foot print. You could do the same, but I would get thicker glass then what a hardware store has to offer.

thank you for the input...I will do some research at the stores around here and in making my own

If you stuck these 2 tanks together, how do you propose to ventilate it and/or get access to the inside?
