Looking good mate, can We have some information on your window please?

Plexiglas. L x W x T

Cut out L x W

Bolt size

SS strips L x W x T

Hard to see but with the reinforce strips is the plexiglas on the inside?

What is the best sealant you have found for the task?

Cheers

OK...

Plexiglas = 450 x 450 x 6mm but will vary depending on where you what it (but make sure it is 6mm

Cut out ... varies depending on cage and requirements but ours was about 350mm square

bolts are 316 Stainless Steel 25mm 6g with washers inside

SS strips are 25 x 3mm and 4m long just cut to size for in and out

The plexiglas is definitely on the inside as the water pressure will push it into the IBC tank wall

We used an aquarium sealant i think from the Selley's range of silicones... and a lot of it!!!



I hope this helps

one of the features I am very much looking forward to if the aquarium window we are building into our pond. We bought 3/4" ~19mm thick just for the heck of it. I hope it is big enough to enjoy watching our fish at 12" (309mm) tall and twice that wide. Brian
