So the bottom and back can be scrap but the sides will be clean cut and am throwing around the idea of a starfire front.
I think that 3/8 is too thin. I have a 5 x 2 x 2 and it's made out of 1/2" and it still has center bracing. Maybe look up a tank building calculator for proper glass thickness. Just wouldn't want you to have that volume of water end up on your floor. Hope this helps.
