| Glass: Types of Glass: -- Annealed glass (plate glass, sheet glass). -- Laminated glass. -- Toughened glass. -- Polycarbonate and other plastics. -- Fiber glass with glass front and variations. Here I am using Annealed glass (plain type). | |
| Cutting Glass: The cutting of glass is a process of scoring a line on the glass with the cutting tools and applying pressure on the two sides by hand or by glass cutting pliers. The video right side will give you an idea. The Pictures right side will shows the tools needed to score line and bend the glass. | |
| Adhesive: Silicone types: -- non-acetic (neutral cure). -- Acetic cure. Here I am using RTV Silicone (Room Temperature Vulcanization) Clear Type as shown in the picture. |    |
| Designing Fish Tank: Here, I am designing 3x1x1 Fish Tank. Fish Tank Design | |
| Construction Process: As shown in the article Iam using Method 1 for assembling the Fish Tank. Here the picture shows the finished Fish Tank with cross braces. |    |
| Filling Up: I filled up the tank with Blue gravels and pebbles. And I filled up the tank with water and allowed it to settle for 24 hours, then I drained out the water. |    |
| Making Cover: Cover can be made by plastic sheet, cardboard, plywood etc,. Here I made the cover with cardboard. I used CFL lamp(White) as the light source, which is energy efficient and brighter. I added plastic door handles to open the cover for feeding fish and maintenance. | |
| Finishing: Here on the right shows the finished Fish Tank with added Aquarium Toys, Filters, Heaters and Fishes. For more see the Videos page. |   |
| Added Moon Light: Moon light provides a cool view of the Fish Tank, so I added the moon light by adding 6 Blue LEDs, 1 Switch and a DC Voltage source. The picture on the right shows the finished moon light. |    |
I hope with these Ideas, Pictures and Videos you can build your own Fish Tank. Please comment this article and post your finished Fish Tank pictures and Videos. |
