I was looking at 90 gallon tanks and was wondering what the best material is to build it out of and also what to use to seal it? And any other tips on building aquariums. Is it really worth it?
Thanks in advance,
Justin

I personally would never build my own tank. The only reason you should attempt it is for the personal accomplishment, or to get a size not commercially available. You should expect to pay more to build your own tank than what you could buy one for.
Also, I reccomend you start with smaller tanks and get practice before you tackle a large project.
