yet tanks are being built with thinner glass as filler. and tank builders seem to be able to do it

Did you ask them for 3/8"

What a 72" brace, the tank glass, or the little pcs. of Euro on the ends of the tank? regardless of your answer 3/8 would solve your problem if they will cut it.

the brace is a piece of glass 3" or 4" whide 1/2 thick 72" long siliconed length wise along the topof tank to suport the tank for flex so it doentpop under pressure rather than a brace across the tank in the middle that hinders getting to tank and working inside the tank. i can show you what i mean tomorrow if you like. i already have teh two short pieces just need the long ones

Ya I know that, i was asking what was 1/2"...... the tank, the end euro pcs. or the 72" euro (that was the smart ass part of the question I know there wasn't a 72" brace on the tank) Why won't 3/8 glass work?

two thin and would crack under pressure in reality i should use 5/8 for piece of mind but 1/2 should do the trick.
