That's a fabulous solution to a height-crunch. I've actually got ~3 extra 10Gallon tanks, so maybe that's what I'll do with them. One already has a crack in the bottom, and was on its way to the garbage, anyway. Any tips for removing the bottom panel? Did you just dismantle the frame and remove the original silicone with a razor and then reseal? (Oops... I'm hijacking the thread, aren't I? You can PM me if I'm taking us off-topic.)

I'll be brief

ummm... about that removing the bottom. I STARTED stripping the silicone from bottom piece of glass with a razor, but got impatient. I ended up purposely breaking the glass and removing the pieces. The hardest part is removing the plastic base. You have to do this with care and pry it slowly away from the glass with a screwdriver. I broke a couple corners and had to superglue them back together. next time I go this, I'll take my time.

The end result was worth it, though, and it's inspiring us all to build tall tanks!
