![]() 6mm will not cut it Brad, go with the 10 mm just to be on the safe side of caution. You will not like the look of doubled up 6mm & if you go to 10mm you will not need a center brace.

![]() Any suggestions on where to order glass from?
There are certain tank manufacturers in Alberta that I simply refuse to deal with. |

![]() Alright, I took a closer look at the tank. The sides are 9mm glass while the front, back and bottom are 12mm.
Inside measurements are 47 5/16"L and 23 1/16" width. For those that have done their own bracing, how big of a gap do you leave for your silicone bead? I am thinking of running the length of the front and back level with the panes and then putting cross braces on top of the side panes and front/back euro. Sound about right? |
