I was faced with this a while back so I called up Bow Valley Aquariums figuring they'll be the best people to ask. 22" high is the max you can use 3/8" glass. Anything over should be done with 1/2" for safety sake. That was on a 3' long tank. Yours is 5' so I'm not sure how that will factor into things, but I have seen 5' tanks made with 1/2" glass, so you should be OK with that.
