my 20" tall 55 gallon tank is 6 mil, but I suspect it's tempered. My 24" tall 75G is 9 mil.
I would think you'd be fine. there was a site with glass spec for tank building I seen somewhere. Last edited by wingedfish; 03-21-2011 at 01:50 AM.

So by that chart it says I need 9mm. But that chart doesn't take into account that there will be 3-4 sections within the tank, so the baffles will make it stronger going the distance.
I just need to know for sure before I go buy the glass...

In the first 2 sections I want to have between 10-15" of water for the incoming from the display, and my skimmer, and the middle section will have 1-2" lower. Then the return section last.

It will be fine simply for the reasons that you mentioned.
I have a 22"wide x 7"thick x 22" deep tank from 6mm and its been fine for years.
