This guy's thread on RC shows that he had a 48" x 72" tank made with 1/2" glass. I'm not sure of the height...I think 20-22". I would think a 36" x 36" tank at a height of 18" would be ok with 1/4" glass.

Everywhere I've read said as long as you don't go above 18", 1/4" glass is ok. But people are makin' me nervous

Drew
Nice size tank. I am tagging along. Hope this works as I've will try 2 x 20g 24x24x16. Which makes me wonder isn't a 33 gal 36x12.5x16?? which would make your tank 90g. Sweet setup easy to light. Edit it is 36x12x18"

I will re-measure the height! I thought it was 18", but that was a quick measurement when the tank was still together, etc. I sure hope this works! Was thinking of a 1/2" bottom pane.

If you haven't already stripped the silicone take some razor blades and get as much of it off as you can, then get some of the original mister clean magic erasers and some water and it takes that grease left over stuff off really well.

Hey Drew how are things progressing. Looking for a bottom piece and do you have the sides cleaned off yet?
