...I may have mentioned 5/8" to him about if I went less in height as pressure pushes donwnward and glass thickness is determined by how high the tank is going to be. 24" high could be done with 5/8" and bracing every 36" on the top with euro bracing between the top bacings. I would not do it personally, as I have a brand new house, and young kids; but there is online thickness calculators for this.

I hope I did not offened you friend by refusing his deal. I think I will get some other pricing on precut to my size first. We do own a Window, Door and Siding company and have access to lots of glass from a factory buy mainly in the 4-6 mill area.... which is too thin. I do not own a store front so getting bigger glass is a challenge. This sucks for me as I build custom tanks into peoples houses in the winter; usually when I do basement developements, and I am stuck buying my tanks from Mitch at Bow Valley. If I had access to the glass at cost then I would cut and drill in my shop as I still have my old equipment.

Also on another note I had some things for sale but they sold. I also bought a few complete setups for certain parts, and then sold off the rest of the stuff. But in reality I still have my original 2 tanks I started with. I do however have aton of power heads #1's, 2's, 3's, 4's, 5's if you know anyone interested... I do not believe in them anymore; as I use high filtration instead.
