i agree and pressure is one thing but we have to make sure we dont get sued or kill someone if a tank this large were to come apart, we have alot to lose by not sticking to what we feel are safe dimensions , theres certain dimensions where sure we can get away with a thinner glass or max out dimensions but most people dont mind paying for peace of mind and for us a little bit of restrictions in what we do for glass sizes allows us to go without incident.
at the end of the day its about what we feel comfortable selling or building, and the last thing we want is to cause anyone any house or business damage, with this tank in particular this was the space we had available and the glass we were able to get at the time.
