X6 5"x7"Picture Frames
X1 8"x10" Picture Frame
The extra two are for the top, but I haven't gotten that far yet.

ooooooooooooooooohh. That's smart! Document frames are $1 at Walmart.The frames themselves weren't used - just the glass.
Are there any other products that come with panes of glass that could be used to build aquariums?
I must say am really enjoying my bucket tank ( youtube.com/watch?v=-uIvjlV6Z38 ) and if I had a yard I'd definitely have kid swimming pools with plants and fish in them. It's cool learning about alternatives to pet store aquariums. One day when I have a basement I hope to build a DIY plywood liquid rubber aquarium. One day.

I bet this is how people made the super nano tanks for the AGA aquascaping competition. Pet store tanks have rims and score lower.
This is just a little 5 gallon tank but look how pretty it is.

This topic finally solved the mystery of where everyone was getting their rimless 5 gallon tanks. From photo frames. Lol.

Yeah, I have been jealous of those lush aquascapes ever since the first Amano book came out. It was kind of like hearing Leo Kottke for the first time.

What would the volume of this tank be?
