Glass or acrylic?

This idea isn’t viable unless you already own thousands of dollars of equipment already to commercially produce tanks.
Fyi, they sell Waterbox at Petco now... those are fairly high quality tanks made from starfire glass. I dunno, sounds like it would be difficult to compete

You know what dude, fuck it. I take it back. If you have the drive and the desire, then go for it. Hell, who knows. Maybe in a couple decades they’ll be selling your tanks at the big stores.
don’t listen to someone like me. You can do anything you put your mind to
I can respect this advice!

I made tanks in town at our local pet store when I was a kid. Some still being used this day 
. I used to set up an build ponds and do interior tank designs. And you can whoesale purchase aquatic glass and sealant for semi aquatic or full aquatic fish tanks. NO you will not even come close to compete with areo tankmate topfin ect. (PetSmart is a retailer)
But locally you can crush it. So many people prefer to buy through a one man owned system that put more effort into the builds.
