    Has anyone seen/built/had any experience with a plywood tank with more then one viewing panel? It seems they are all only built with one viewing panel but why not two or three?

    I've never done this but it could be a structural support issue.

    I have seen MANY that are build with 3 panels. I am currently building one. They are just as structurally sound as tanks with a single panel...

    Here is one that is currently for sale... It was used for about 3 years before the owner decided to upgrade to a bigger tank...

    JasoSquared,
    How big is that tank? I love the look of it, it's gorgeous. Can you point me to a build thread for it or supply specifics about it? How are the corners done?

    I don't believe that the thread for that particular tank exists anymore... It was built several years ago on a forum that no longer exists... But there are many more build threads that are done in the same way...

    That tank is a beauty. If you can afford it I'd jump on it.
