dumb question on tank building

[zin]

Does the sides rest on top of the bottem pane of glass or around it, lol probably the most basic thing

Anyway on with my plans i wana make a tank that is a squared off horseshoe shape that i can fit around a comp monitor.

should go around the bottom pane not on it.

Yeah that might be a dumb question (no offence I have asked much dumber :duh: ) However that is a awsome idea going around your comp. c: .......Will you let me know how it goes?


B.T.W. the water goes inside the aquarium not on the outside. LOL.... :laugh: ......Just kidding.

Sounds like an interesting idea, you'll have to get pictures when it's done.

There may be heat issues if it's a CRT monitor; But definately a good idea.

Why would you want to have it behind the monitor? You would never really see it, and it would probably be a pain to clean back there. Also You would run the risk of getting water on the monitor when you did water changes. I think a small tank on either side would be a better option than a U shaped tank.

Im sure the has a flatscreen monitor for this project. And if thats the case it sounds like a awsome idea...................HEY it would be awsome to find a screensaver to fit the theme. YEAH COOL :joe: :clap:

Actually, when you're building a tank, the sides and ends sit on top of the bottom- otherwise you get leaks. You want the water to push the joint sideways, not push it apart!

I found these plans:

That's what I thought but I wasn't sure about it.
