I agree with aaaheim, oils from your hands on the joints will cause it to fail. Also, a tall tank like that should have bracing. Thanks gonna be a mess when that tank fails.

There is a reason this channel is called “Dramatic aquariums”. That is what you will experience with this tank once it fails.

Best build video I've seen, keep it simple and stupid. Loved you guys goofing around, getting the job done and explained it so clearly. I was looking for some pointers for my first build from scratch and filled my boots with insight. Thanks.

This is amazing. I would love to see this tank holding water though. I wouldn't trust those sides just held together with silicone...especially for a tank this size. I would have the corners reinforced with aluminium edges. But I guess that these guys are professionals and know what they are doing. Assembled it in record time too. Inspiring.

A tank this size should be reinforced at least both bottom and the top. For long term. Scary to see that they are not holding it together as they are assembling it

Hope this is still together, some things that should have been done were not, maybe this was the first big one they did, so much banter from the fishes on the dishes men and some questions or statements were surprised to others.

Reading the description instantly reminded me of being the Navy and times when it it was so cold the silicone wouldn't come out of the bottle. When you do get it out and it's all lumpy and shit.

- 11,500 years from now - Breaking News Archeologists find a room, they don’t know what it is, what it was used for or how it was built. Wood, metal, plastics and other materials were used in the building process but it looks like the main components are precision, passion and a fun attitude. Experts believe that the room might have been built for the royals, aristocrats or kings, where they gathered to relax and think.

I've seen this style done before but why didn't you use a single pane of glass for that 2nd layer of the tank bottom? I would think having it in two parts would make it very weak.

These dudes are legend

How did the silicone not skin over the tape in 20 mins. Mine starts skinning in 5 mins

Great teamwork! And nice tank you build!

I like the idea of double bottom. I am building an aquarium of 1.3 mt by 55 cm and 80 cm height with 10mm glass. For the base I am thinking of gluing a 4 mm acrylic on top of the bottom glass, a little narrower than the base just for safety, in case something gets dropped on it. Do you think it's a good idea?

if your tank is 80cm tall 10mm glass will not be able to with stand the pressure. I would not go under 15mm for a tank that tall. Common rule is the taller the tank the thicker the glass has to be. Hope this helps

These guys are clueless newbies. Touching the prepped glass with their oily fingers where the silicone will make contact.? NO! Not to mention, the silicone has already “skinned” by the time they put the glass together. Huge mistake! Did I mention the silicone they’re using isn’t rated for a 700/G aquarium. Only SCS 1200 or Momentive RTV-108 or 103 should be used for a tank build this size. They have the proper tensile, tear, shear & peel strength numbers. This tank may last a few years, but they always fail in the end. I foresee a seam failure in the early life of this tank.

Why are you not using battery caulking guns and lifting clamps

I didnt see , maybe I missed but u need to use electrical wire between glasses to leave proper silicon thickness otherwise weight of glass will make it so thin.Proper thickness of silicon will help flexibility for few things may occur in aquarium . U can remove tthem after silicon dries and fill the gap . And before using a finger to remove and flatten the silicon u should wet that finger , i.e. water or touch of tongue :D

I do not believe they are finished with that aquarium. There is still that one side that has that third piece of glass.

I think you'll find these guys are not in USA, they are somewhere in the north east of England, probably within spitting distance of the river Tyne (no doubt if I'm wrong they will shout at me). A proper gallon, that's imperial gallon as used in UK and most other parts of the world is the equivalent of 1.2 US or Mickey Mouse gallons as used in USA. I'm sure when these guys talk of a gallon they are talking imperial. 2436 litres is equivalent to 516 proper imperial gallons or 619 Mickey Mouse gallons. The whole world uses the metric system apart from Liberia, Myanmar and USA.
