after rebuilding a 96 gallon aquarium i am starting to doubt the strength of the glass.i once read that glass thickness was more based on height than capacity.is there some sort of a chart that bases thickness on dimensions.or a standard.the tank was cut down so it is now closer to a 65 gal but it is 20" tall and 22" wide by about 38 " long.i had an allglass 72 a few years ago and am sure that the glass was thinner than 3/8.( i carried it in the house by myself) my present tank although taller and deeper is much shorter and there is no way i can move it alone.so glass must be thicker.for those that have build tanks this size and larger what thickness did you use.anyone know how much psi glass can support?i am ready to fill my tank with freshwater to check leaks.i have picked everything up off the floor in my basement in case of a disaster.
