Choosing Fish Tank

[geoffrey]

Hi,

I was told that how a fish tank is made is important for safety. 1) Was told that tanks with their 4 side walls sitting on top of the bottom panel is safer than those with the bottom sitting within the 4 walls. 2) Sealant joining 2 panels must not have bubbles/air pockets.

Is it true?

Sounds logical. I heard some tanks even have a thicker base glass. I am sure the experienced tank makers know what they are doing.

Why -- ordering a new tank anytime soon?
