'Juwel' tanks are ex because they use a special type of silicon to bind the pieces. That's the reason why they are black. It's a mixture of silicon and I think a type of cement. But of course there will be limitations due to the thickness of the glass. Ask people who have used 6mm for marine tanks. They got more experience in this case.

My two cents' worth...

Dun think they use more than 8mm and some are also used for marine. Maybe can ask for more opinion from the Juwel tank users in forum.

As tanzy always say: A tank higher than 2.5 is inviting death by drowning should you fall in head-first during maintenance. Getting stabbed in the eye with a staghorn coral is a bonus.

yeah agree with AT.. u can nv reach 2.5ft height, ... it happened to me once... bare tank, i drop something inside my tank. i force myself to reach it... even tasted a gulp of saltwater.... nearly fall inside..

[Achilles Tang]

A four feet deep tank... wow... I think some of our reefer boys here are barely 4 ft in height!

Morgan's 3 ft deep tank is already extremely hard to maintain and landscape!

[kee]

haha AT u very funny. i dun tink u shld use tat tank its way too dangerous.. think of how u going to mantain.. and how u going to stack ur LRs

[Golden Tooth]

[shiraz]

4ft tank?! wow never see before! hmmm 1 way is to put a 24 inch DSB.. so your height will be reduced to 2ft!
