im a stained glass artist and i suggest after using the glass cutter tool, tap the glass a few times to make the crack deeper. this prevents your glass from breaking in unwanted places.
Bro 12 years later I'm still coming back to this to emergency rebuild my 125. I was scared I would need to buy a new one after I came home to day to ~15 gallons of water on the basement floor, but your calm demeanor and straight forward approach always give me the confidence to DIY. I resealed this aquarium 8 years ago with the help of one of your (then new) videos and now I'm making use of your disassembly video and this build video. Love ya Joey
I just finished rebuilding a 55 long using these instructions and new frames from Over The Edge. Finished the water test yesterday with no leaks. Thanks Joey.
Man brother, I know this is an old video but you have come such a long way since this video and its awesome. Im going back to some of your older videos because Im going to be turning my Big Wooden Entertainment stand into a large Paludarium. I only need one piece of glass for the front portion that will hold the water feature, Ill have a divider with dual sliding panes for the top half. Your home made filtration videos are really saving my butt. As well as the video explaining the Pond Armor. Great Content as always
Dude send me a pic! I build stuff and im curious to see your project. Send a msg or pic to Vincent Tyler DiGangi on fb messenger or by snapchat @ vinny.vince. my pic is my snapcode with my batman avatar. Plz and ty if and if not.
Home Depot sells all types of thickness Plexi glass and Reg clear glass sheets. If you are sanding glass please wet the sandpaper and sand wet so you don’t breath in the dust... breathing in ANY glass dust can causes permanent lung scaring that can get worse and worse over time as the glass dust never comes out. like fiberglass does. Also an idea...Black silicone is an option. It’s what Imagitarium uses on some of their tanks which looks cleaner, sharper and never stains. I wonder if a round Plexi tank can be made with Plexi glass sheets. Anyone try yet?
You can but you need the right type of oven to heat and shape the glass. Would be pretty difficult to do on yourself but what one person can do another can do so why not.
I've already saved a ton of cash watching your vids, overflow for my 140G Tropheus tank (Kiriza and Kasakalawe's) worked flawlessly, the sump build for the kaldness fluid bed, and probably a lot more I forgot. I'll get any book you put out, I'll check up end of the month, least I could do bro, thanks again :)
Great video, but having been a glass cutter for years it was painful to watch sometimes, you need to hold the glass cutter like a pen, dip it in mineral oil and apply consistent pressure (just try to use the weight of your arm) and movement. You still did a good job though, some really good tips too. I'm thinking of doing a fishtank up my stairs so this helped, thank you 👍
Thank you. Just thank you. I don't know what to say but you are amazing, and all of the weird things I dislike about other videos aren't present. I look forward to building a tank just like this one!
Thank you for this. I'm going to build a custom roughly 2'0"×14'0" terrestrial-aquarium. Without this video I wouldn't even know where to begin. Honestly, thank you.
Fantastic! Wonderfully clear and simple instructions for anyone to follow. Am off to find glass and have a go. Daughters has wanted abturtle/fish for a few years but i couldnt afford the tanks. Guess what they're each getting for Christmas. Thank you so much!
this is fantastic! I want to build custom aquariums as a career someday and Ill take some woodworking classes and whatnot but I wanna try it before then too. this was wonderfully informative, thanks so much. subscribing for sure!
Hi Joey! I've watched all your videos on building an aquarium, but I'm a little perplexed at how to take a glass aquarium apart?? Are you planning on making a tutorial at any point? I think what you do is great!! King regards from Australia!!
It was very clear on how to build an aquarium, I was very confused of how how to cut the glass and also about the measurement. By watching up this video my confusion was clear. Thank you Joey.
My tank started pissing out water from one corner last week so using you as an inspiration I'm taking the old tank apart and doing a complete reseal. Fingers crossed I don't f this up. P.s you make it look easier than it really is lol
No kidding. I went to an aquarium shop today, talking about several grand for a large one. And you hardly get anything for it. The glass and table alone are extremely overpriced (imho).
Chuck Boyles but late but I got a 190 litre tank with a great stand and tons of extras second hand. I’d suggest looking at second hand ones because there are some great deals.
Made an 18"x12"x12" aquarium following this exactally, cost about 3 dollars haha will post a video of the tank with fish eventualy. Really happy with the result, thanks a bunch!
MAN that is awesome im just starting in those world of fishes and aquarium and i realy want to build a bigger aquarium, and a pond for my kois..!!!!! Greetings from HONDURAS..!!!!
Bro you are awesome. I’m checking out the website rn. Keep it up I just went on OfferUp to buy a used tank and almost threw up from the prices. I think after watching this I might’ve found a new hobby!
Your videos are very helpful. If I were to build a 40"X18"18" (LXWXH) rimless and braceless tank with glass thickness of 3/8" - 1/2", would it be possible and still safe?
I would go with anything from 8mm (1/3") to 12mm (~1/2") glass just to be safe. 6mm is too thin for that length. If you've never made a tank before, I would practice first on making smaller tanks just to get used to it before moving up to the heavier glass.
thank you joey, thanks to you i've already built a 1.50 meter long aquarium for my native saltwater fish and now I'll build a 1.70 m for my African cychlids and Loricarids, in a fraction of the cost!
Great video but what about the bottom or top trim? Isn't that needed to reducing the bowing of the glass, especially the top trim/brace? Or is it not tall enough to need one.
Hey I wanted to do this with a small 5 gallon or small 10 gallon just to keep around my kitchen and have a small low tech setup. Would this be worth the work and would I do the same process?
You could buy a 10 gallon tank for $15 if you didn’t want to build it.If you wanted a custom one it’d be a good way to go!But it’s probably be cheaper to buy one
I have looked at your videos,they're very helpful. What I meant was when you 1st starting getting interested in building tanks.I was referring to when you were just a kid and curious about it (if you even were... IDK, it was just an idea) You might have started building these things when you weren't a kid. My dad started his hobby of building all kinds of stuff when he was like 7. lol he built a little house/shack in the backyard w/ electric all by himself. He has also blown shit up too.
Be me - building an aquarium while listening to guns n roses - welcome to the jungle (I am very hype and aggressively applying the silicone) As I'm dancing around and singing, I run out of silicone. Headed to the store to get more, and I remember I need a micro pizza cutter. Fast Forward... Back from store. Forgot to get silicone. Time to put this micro pizza cutter to use I guess. Trip over my 100 roles of electrical tape on the ground and slice into the almost finished tank with my micro pizza cutter, slicing the tank in two perfect halves. I'm still singing guns n roses as this happens, but not so aggressively anymore.
Tip, before you use the glass cutter have a little white spirit handy dab a cotton ball / small piece of sponge and run the white spirit along where your going to cut, then use the glass cutter, you will find the glass breaks much easier and at a near 90 deg to the face, the light oil runs into the crack the cutter makes keeping it a few microns open,nice straight edge is easier sealed, soapy water and rinse will clean it up fine before you silicone. (used to work in glass factory)
+SeeTube3 That's what I want to know, I can't seem to find the answer for this question anywhere. Very frustrating. Have you found out where to get the glass?
+Joshua Heitmann Phonebook, google.... call around! Sheets of glass isn't something you order online and have shipped to you. Imagine the shipping costs and chances of it breaking! Call glass shops in the area. Window places. windshield places, etc.. Ask around. Just regular glass. (they will call it plate glass or float glass) .I just buy from a local shop. or take old tanks apart. or hit craigslist up for used glass.
what about Lowes or Home Depot? Any of those Hardware stores? I know they have everything else just Don't know about sheets of glass. I Don't know if they have any of those stores in Canada But I live in the U.S trying to find a cheaper way of making a glass Tank for my Bearded dragon. :P I want to have it sealed though incase I ever want to increase size of my beardies tank and use old one for Fish :P
Hey bro I'm lookin into building my own native game fish tank. I was thinkin bout a 350-400 gallon tank so I can have a few different species spread out in a tank. How much would a reg rectangle tank cost me building it myself.
RatchetHondaracing 22 with that much water, It'd be safer to just buy one, Not to mention most retailers only Keep 36x36 panels. Working at an ace hardware I can tell you we only carry that size for storage and safety.
I just wondering what if I want to add a glass in the middle how to do that? I trying use my 55 gallon seperate into 2 tank just by adding a glass in the middle. half fresh water and half marine. do you think it will work?
Joey, you're a champ dude. I'm building a shrimp setup with 20 10 gallon tanks. This saved me a ton of money so far. I got a local glass guy to cut the glass, still waaaay cheaper.. like ridiculously much cheaper than buying all those tanks. If anyone's scared of trying this, don't be, it's actually pretty easy, esp. if the tanks are small. After getting some practice doing the small tanks, I'm pretty confident I can do something larger = No more buying massively expensive tanks.
I know this is old. I know I can build it ...what stops me....the measurements .......its the deducting the glass thickness depending on how you make it. if you sit the glass on top of the base then you need to half the glass thickness for the end glass. I just can not do it. lol
+The king of DIY Questions: do i need a seperate tank while breeding, can you make or show me a breeding tank vid, how do i breed glow fish, will you sell me a discuss one of your babys ( sorry i know you dont like seling things)
mainly because he put the silicone on the side pieces, instead of on the inside of the front/ rear piece, and then cut it so the tank wasnt square anyway
A top brace can be added for support, but the silicone is what holds every glass tank together. You might be referring to the black trim on tanks you see? If so, that does not offer any support in most cases unless it has a center support.
@@thekingofdiy is there any type of mathematics to consider as far as how much water it can hold before the silicone gives out and the tank comes apart?
@@thomaszaccone3960 The glass will fail before the silicon fails. So if you are making your own tanks, remember to use the correct sized glass. 6mm glass is good up to about 100l. 8mm up to about 200l, and so on. If you are making a tank without a frame, remember to put a brace at the top.

Katlyn Hyde thanks!
Instructions unclear, used a sledge hammer on the wrong side of the glass
wow thanks i never thought of that!
What do you meant by tapping? A literal tap on the score?
@Panzer Viking ever see someone tap the top of a pop can?
I used your video to build a custom tank for my Whites frog. He's very happy in it and I didn't spend a fortune so thank you
Janna Gaines where do y'all buy the glass?
Jesus Ruiz I found mind at Home Depot but I know Lowe's has it too
@Abu Bakil Whats wrong with white frogs?
Where did you buy the glass, was it custom size
How’d you make doors?

i like that u talk yourself through it so people understand
The most in-depth build I have seen, your attention to detail, i.e., measuring the glass, was great. I found the whole video informative. Thank you.
Just got done on my first build. Total disaster! But i loved it, Silacone everywhere, never had so much fun, thanks Joey, your the man!

My man has come a looooooong way but even then this was still a well produced video and an amazing tutorial
I'm definitely going to try this!
wow dude... you are very detailed...... appreciate the video and your effort
Do you need to brace the tank when making a larger capacity (140-180 litre/30-40 gallons)? Or will silicone be enough?
It was very clear on how to build an aquarium, I was very confused of how how to cut the glass and also about the measurement. By watching up this video my confusion was clear. Thank you Joey.

Last piece was too big then you cut the video to it fitting perfectly
Chris Thomas yup. It was slightly bigger. So i cut the glass like i show how and made it fit.
mainly because he put the silicone on the side pieces, instead of on the inside of the front/ rear piece, and then cut it so the tank wasnt square anyway
Wow, great video. Everything explained, even to use an old sheet.
22:15 lol waters filled with water
had to replay that part a couple of times lol "did he just............yes he did" lol
I would of thought the bigger the tank the thickest of the glass would be 10mm-14mm.
So 6mm is very accurate for this size of build.

At 20:11, it tripped me out! I thought he was putting the bead from bottom to top, but he was going side to side. The angle got me.
can you show us how to build a terrarium
Rousey says moo its the same thing
if you want I have made a video on glass terrarium construction. In french for now but I made english subtitle. Hope it could be useful fore you ;)
This was very fun to watch.
Don't you need some sort of frame to keep the glass panels together? .. that's a lot of weight in there!
A top brace can be added for support, but the silicone is what holds every glass tank together. You might be referring to the black trim on tanks you see? If so, that does not offer any support in most cases unless it has a center support.
@@thekingofdiy is there any type of mathematics to consider as far as how much water it can hold before the silicone gives out and the tank comes apart?
@@louisdickerson5500 From the viewpoint of a structural glazier, silicon will hold approximately 2 tonnes before it gives way! So roughly 2000l
@@dramoth64 Wow!
@@thomaszaccone3960 The glass will fail before the silicon fails. So if you are making your own tanks, remember to use the correct sized glass. 6mm glass is good up to about 100l. 8mm up to about 200l, and so on. If you are making a tank without a frame, remember to put a brace at the top.
Thanks for your help my terrarium turned out great
"A-boot"? are you Canadian good sir?
He is, but you might knos to by now if you follow him
should use frame clamps on it that would make your tank true and straight with out question, nice work there
Not without a trim to brace and hold it together would I ever trust one of these aquariums lol
nicodemoscarfo that’s what I keep thinking. What if I made one and it busted open
Take some 1X1 angle iron and weld it together then sand and polish it to give you a nice shiny metalic frame and slide your tank into it
Easy fix: try to disassemble it, you doubts might vanish
it's awesome that you did'nt need anyone to help you ^^
