3 concrete block walls and glass front stand

Firstly has anyone done this ?

Basically angle iron fastened to the wall to take the weight glass base and front and what works out to be 1/2 my 6 foot tank walls is the base and the ends of the 6 foot become the front of the tank.to be 800 x 800 x 500 3 tiers high

The walls of the shed are rendered with silec concrete render .

Will the silicone stick to the render or should I fiberglass the walls ?

Has anyone had under floor slab heating used under tanks?

316 stainless steel and silicon sealant is it a for ever bond ?

316 stainless steel in the tank water does it have any adverse affects?

My next free standing stand I'm planning to use the stainless steel square tube in the tank stand as a frame to seal the glass into and thus creating a area that can be used for utilities such as water change in and overflow out

If I use a stand upright Tube which has three tiers of tanks being constructed around it and sealed tube ends with 3 holes placed at an equal height from the top water surface.( common head height )

If I fill from the top of the tube will I get an even flow into each tank simultaneously, over flowing out through another upright with 3 holes at the full water level?

no taps and no external pipes and hopefully no leaks

Thanks

Neil

Neil even with the picture I am finding it difficult to understand. I take it that what you want to do is replace the existing tanks with six foot tanks that will partially go into the nook. Are you intending to build tanks and use part of the walls to act as the sides of the aquarium?

If I am way off the mark let me know.
