    Hi all,

    What is the largest size, free standing, all glass tank that is either available or can feasibly be built? Not talking about a concrete and glass aquarium type structure, but all glass construction only.

    Does anyone on this forum have a 3m+ tank?

    Yes, but is that the biggest possible all-glass?

    well you gotta ask a glass company whats the sheet sizes of the glass thats available and probably base your max(against safety calculation) dimensions on that......or Acrylic is an alternative....only limited by our imagination,

    The one crucial factor to add as well would be the floor that this gargantuan tank will be place on......specs

    Largest I could find on google is a 144"x36"x36" or roughly 3.6mx1mx1m offered by a U.S. builder
