Nano Build - Glass vs Acrylic

[jostafew]

You're right on the thicknesses, 3/8" acrylic or 3/16" regular glass (would go to 1/4" if I wanted to splurge on low iron glass) according to the calculators. Dimensions are 16" x 13" x 10". I just got a quote from IPP for the acrylic and it came out to about $230, and based on the cost of my sump project I think glass will be pretty similar. I haven't put together a proper cutlist for the glass shop yet but I suppose I should do that just to get a solid answer on that front.

BTW, I won't be using weld-on for the majority of the acrylic build, it'll be straight solvent on most of the joints, and I've already got that from previous builds. Same with the silicone, purchased on boxing day in preperation for the build.
