I've never built an aquarium before, but I would like to build a large one(180g+) and see how it goes. My first question is, is there any special type of glass I would need to use? If I use 1/2 inch, would I still need to brace it? how much does the glass weight per square foot for both 1/2 and 3/8 inch? I would probably be working alone, and want to make sure I can move and position the pieces by my self. Other than the cost of the glass and possible water damage, is there a reason not to try to build a large tank as my first build? Could I use a non glass material for 3 sides and the bottom and still use glass for the viewing side and have it still hold water?
Thank you.
