Tank question

[Dez]

I have a 48 x 18 x 14 tall tank made out of 1/4 inch glass not tempered. I bought it used as well. It's been filled for about 6 years. There is NO center bracing. Actually, there is no bracing at all. It kind of scares me, but it holds water. I had it jam packed full of live rock as well for about 5 years.

Well I bought as a fish tank he had water in it before he sold it to me he decided to upgrade to a 180 that's y he sold it.

It's a LFS who made it and it's non tempered glass that he uses for all his tanks there custom made tanks

So I should be fine, would 4 inches really make that much of a difference? Ya freaks me out to sometimes that's y I needed to ask before I fill it.

Thanks


Reason y I'm asking is because I went down to my LFS and he told me it's pushing it with that thickness of glass for a salt water setup because it's denser then a fresh water tank so he told me he could make me a tank a 48x24x24 but it's pretty expensive. I wasn't about to spend $400+ on a tank if I all ready have a tank that is perfectly capable of doing the job
