One of the best tutorial videos I've seen no YouTube brilliant. I now feel confident to have a go at my first tank.
Thanks..
Thank you Joe! 🙏🏻
When do you use the Weldon 4 or did you mix the cement
what is the thickness that you use?where can you buy acrylic in Ontario Canada?planning to assemble a 75 gal….
Im looking to build a tank, and im curious. Is that thickness that necessary even with a shallow tank?( Maybe 8 inches at its deepest)
I would have thought the cement went in between the two pieces and then the two pieces get clamped together.
Isn't it necessary to apply glue first and then lean the panel against, or is the glue so liquid that it gets between the panels?… Ok, I see, you said at the end it's welding… Hm that's interesting.
Hey I enjoy your videos, I keep trying to build aquariums but I keep getting leaks any advice?
4:10 “A right angle iron measurement” Square? Lol
Awesome bro!!! Thanx again!!!
Why dont you use the 3,4,5 method to get it square
I heard all edges should be cemented on the horizontal by turning the tank is this correct?
Can i use non- toxic silicone to seal beside Liquid glue for aclylic , i want to start a aclylic aquarium. ?
Instead of cementing the panels one by one, why dont you tape the panels all in place and then cement it? It would save alot of time
man! very good instructive and informative video! thank you very much! i will build my own tanks now, however i will definetely start smaller 😉
its crazy watching the older vids and to see the progression to what it is today great vids this is what got me back in the fish hobby

I always wondered if you think a tank of this size would be suitable enough for a pair of dovii
