If people take anything from my music, it should be motivation to know that anything is possible as long as you keep working at it and don't back down.

Re: Building a photo tank
Sumer Bhai, dimensions you mentioned are Length X Breadth X Height or Length X Height X Breadth?sumer wrote:uy glass for a small tank which would measure approximately 6"x4"x1" (or 1.5" depending upon your requirement)
I am confused..

Re: Building a photo tank
a laymans question, does extra clear float really matter so much?
its just 2.6% of difference.

Re: Building a photo tank
The difference of 2.6% is in the amount of light that passes through the two types of glass.saikumar wrote:a laymans question, does extra clear float really matter so much?

What they didn't talk about was refractive index, which plays a huge role while taking photos. In my experience, low iron glass allows me to take photos from an angle without showing a lot of refraction. Whereas the normal glass doesn't allow that at all because it starts giving out that green tinge.
It's a huge benefit if we are talking about a photo tank.
