Thanks, seems like most common is acrylic inside the tank.

How thick did you guys go? Did it warp at all?

Lots of Alberta help, maybe a local could chime in where to buy some around here?

Thanks again for responses

If you go the acrylic/plex route, Fiber-tek on boundary is great to deal with, and open saturdays

1/8" thickness, silicone it to the glass, it won't warp.

Thanks, did you find any issues with water getting behind it?
