So... I turned this odd shaped tank

Any ideas what I can do with the pieces?
The back piece is 100cm x 50cm
3 pieces 50cm x 40cm
and the odd bottom piece.

I'm thinking either a glass cube or a plywood tank with front glass viewing panel.
Ideas please :)
 
Wait for the $1 a gallon sale. And save yourself the headache. Also that stand isn’t going to work. Good luck

That's no fun at all!!
Anyway I'm in Poland, there's no such thing as $1 a gallon sales.
Yes, it's a TV stand, it's not going to hold any tank of mine.
 
I would buy one more piece of glass. The same size as the bigger piece you have there, so that the tank is squared.
 
Ahhh very true haha that would not have been fun to find out later on.
Haha no, it'd be difficult to hold water ;)
I was actually thinking of cutting it in half then I could build a cube 50cmH x 50cmW x 40cmD.
But there are 2 problems with that. One is the glass is 10 or 12mm thick I can't remember and I'm a little scared of cutting it. Two, probably I'll have to cut a few millimetres from the side pieces to give the front an overlap for a good seal (if that makes sense).

That’s would use the glass up well. 12mm is a thick cut, but im sure there is a way it can be done.

How about a dollar per liter sale? ;)
