    I'll go buy some more super glue gel as soon as possible :)

    I think I'll try an Anemone Crab. They're only $10, so why not? :)

    I have a quick question: How thick would glass need to be for a 14" tall tank? I was thinking a tank that is 14" tall x 48" long x 24" deep. I've been thinking of trying to build a tank by myself, as I love building things. It's just an idea, though :)

    Rhodactis mushroom, a nice one. As for building your own tank 3/8 inch glass is good for that. Overkill really, if Im not mistaken 10 gallon tanks are usually constructed with 1/8 inch glass. You could buy a glass cutter and do it yourself, but polishing the ends would make for a nicer clean cut. That would be left up to a glass shop, its not terribly expensive but if you are going to have them polish it might as well have them cut the dimensions of the glass too. Less work overall and it would make for a better tank IMO.

    Thanks! Is it a Superman Rhodactis?

    And how much do you think it would run for a tank with those dimensions and with 3/8 inch glass? Would it be okay if I used 1/2 inch glass?

    Superman rhodactis is a pretty vague term. To me most of those names are pointless, it looks similar though. 1/2 glass is going to be heavy and much much more expensive. 1/8 inch glass is used for a reason: its light, and its cheap. Personally, I would use 3/8 inch glass.

    I'm sorry, I meant 1/4 inch glass :lol:

    Should I just try to find a glass shop near my area and ask how much it would be?
