I have an idea for you, if you are going to build a new stand and all. Why don't you lay it over on its front and make it 85" L x 32" W x 24" tall unless there is a structural difference in the way the tank was built, that prevents orienting it that way. You would only have to buy a pice of low iron glass that's 85" L x 24" W.

 

A whole other list of issues with this Six-Line. Not the way to go.

This tank is only worth it if it becomes a terrarium. Even for myself (and I build glass tanks professionally) it's not worth it. To do a total re-seal after getting apart (and that's if you do not damage it taking it apart) isn't worth the time/labor.

yeah, that's the way i'm inclined to go. maybe it'll make sense for someone's reptile.

If you got the tank for free and you had some spare time, it would be worth it to completely re-do all of the panels.

With all the forseeable issues, it's not worth it if you have to pay actual money for it.

yeah, i think you're right rob like the most recent replies here. i've passed on it and just going to sell my new 210g and pick up a standard 265 to get the extra height i want.

I agree with what Rob said as well. If free, and some spare time it would indeed be worth while to do. Often I do see these tanks listed as free. Eventually you'll find one.

That sounds cool with the price of free as stated by Steve, and NAGA. I wounder if sheet PVC grooved and sealed used as a bottom would work. I have heard of new tanks made this way. Is this correct ? That would be a Nice DD project.
