Default Glass Thickness

Hey all

Im contemplating building a tank on my own, and was wondering if anyone knew of a site or source of information where i could find the appropriate glass thickness vs. depth of tank. (Between 32" and 42" prefferably.)

Pretty cool formula, just not sure what the safety factor is? There is no definition. Changes the glass thickness a ton.
