It plans on being drilled then tempered. And I found out I need around 10mm thick glass for an aquarium 24" tall x 36.4" long.

You don't need to have tempered glass if you build you euro brace appropriately. Another option would be to have your holes drilled by whoever you buy your glass from. This way you don't risk breaking a piece while drilling and have to by a new one.

These pictures are kinda poor, and I was too lazy to actually remove the second drawer haha
its a soild oak fileing cabinet i didnt measure the thickness of the wood as I just wanted some feed back cause I have some idea on how to brace it, please keep in mind that im going to try and fix a 30-40 gallon sump in the base. and I know its open bottom but thats easily fixable haha.
