I take it you mean deflection of the tank wall that it's stick to due to the weight of the water in the tank? I see your point - when I get water in it! Clearly though this wasn't the issue this time - I didn't even get the chance to get it damp never mind wet! It also would've gone the other side of the bulkhead if that had been the case I guess, but that point is moot...

Glass thickness wise I didn't think 1/4" was too thin for an overflow - it also seemed to be the thickest I can get in Brandon without them having to order it in - unless you know someone who carries something thicker in stock? Not averse to using thicker if I can get my hands on some fairly quickly and at a sensible cost.. The plan is to use it as a curing vat for that concrete of mine - more volume than what it's in at the moment..
