How To Make A Curly Aquarium Yourself?

I would like to note that you are completely off the hook if you decide on such extravagance as creating a lot or, at least, a crooked-coal aquarium. That banal, flat, rectangular shape disgusted? Duc, for contemplation of what is included in this form - this is what you need! The straighter the plane you are staring at, the less distortion. It's not for nothing that SONY is trying to create the most flat screen possible. Do you want a panoramic aquarium!.. Or a corner one? This changes things. The polyhedron isn't bad either, so …

Why am I dissuading you! Not with me, but with someone else you will find a way to glue such cans, glue it together and you will look with disgust at the creation of your own hands, especially since it will soon fall apart and you will have to collect money to repair neighboring apartments. So, I'd better tell you. I suggest:

Something my muse is gone again, I have to pacify her. SO,

I strongly advise you to first read the article about gluing rectangular cans and gluing in general as such

First of all, the main difference in the manufacture of a complex shaped aquarium is … glass cutting. You will probably have to attend this process, if possible. Especially if you ordered glasses from a company that has nothing to do with aquariums (aquarium workers still know how to cut and measure glass). It's all about the dishonesty, irresponsibility and laziness of glass cutters. Even if you manage to overcome all these vices in them, they will be thrown into greed.

In short, the problem is that faces that are not cut at right angles to adjacent ones, but, for example, at an angle of 45 ° are a little more difficult to cut. Simply, cutting out octahedral glass, you need to cut 4 corners from the square. So, the break-off points of these corners do not look as neat as straight cuts.

All these are the subtleties of cutting glass, but they can do you a disservice if someone who is completely indifferent to the reliability and appearance of your aquarium will measure the result.

After the bottom is cut out for you, take the trouble to measure it yourself in the most careful way. When you measure the size of, for example, the front glass in a corner aquarium, or in general any glasses that make up obtuse corners in the aquarium, make sure that the gap between adjacent glasses is 1-3 mm.

By the way, a few words about the size and shape of the future aquarium:

Once you want a corner aquarium, make it pentagonal instead of triangular, no matter how tempting it may be. Firstly, sharp corners will make it difficult to clean the aquarium, and secondly, you simply get worn out with gluing these corners, trying to give them reliability and beauty. So, I advise you to make a corner aquarium like this:

Well, with polyhedra and panoramas, I think you can figure it out yourself. If these words lead you into a state of deep thoughtfulness, then you can look here.

Now a little about the rest of the glasses that make up, so to speak, the body of the aquarium.

… Yes, I almost forgot! I strongly recommend using the gluing method, which implies pasting the walls around the bottom, and not on the bottom.

If we are talking about a corner aquarium, then pasting the bottom with walls will look like this:

The panoramic aquarium is pasted over as follows:

The polyhedron should not raise any questions at all:

In fact, you can combine glasses in some other way, but the proposed options are simple and reliable, do not require any special skills in work.
