It has a long cure time for it. Also when using Acrylic you need to have 2.5 tmes the thickness of the acrylic for support around the acrylic window. Also google cyro aquarium thickness calculator to get your thickness yoy need. Zavlar bonds to wood and acrylic and itself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CORVETTE Posted May 7, 2009 Report Share Posted May 7, 2009 Doesn't a glass shop around town have a piece of glass for you instead of ordering it? like a window shop or somthing? Isn't there a guy up there who makes tanks? i thought i had heard there was ask him for a piece you could buy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Isn't there a guy up there who makes tanks? i thought i had heard there was ask him for a piece you could buy. yeah but they don't have the size we need. The reason we have been waiting on aquagiant is they have there glass for $110, every other place is like $500 or more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Powerz69 Posted May 7, 2009 Report Share Posted May 7, 2009 What size of glass do you need? Did you try canam on the southside? Go straight there and cut out the middle man. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

African_Fever Posted May 11, 2009 Report Share Posted May 11, 2009 Great looking setup. You're not worried about the quality of the glass coming from Aquagiant? There's got to be a reason if the glass is that much cheaper than from anywhere else. Good luck getting it into the house too; 1/2" of clearance on each side might not be enough if there's any imperfections in the finishing of the stairwell. It'll be a great home for your rays once it's completed either way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
