Yea the next one im going to be putting windows in it, just going to leave a 20mm lip for the glass to sit on all the way around, scuff up the fibreglass with some sand paper and get alot of silicone and slap it in there, Putting the glass on the inside of the tank so the water pressure holds it against the fibreglass, not pushing away.

But for this im planning on re-enforcing the front with steel, just to make sure the fibreglass doesnt flex, thats the only time you will break the silicone seal.

You could use foam boxes quite easy, just need to use a water based paint and put 5 or 6 good coats on the box before putting the fibreglass on, That will stop the fibreglass eating through the walls. Would work pretty good to, would be like an esky, cool in summer and warm in winter.
