IslandReefer is on a distinguished road
Default glass thickness

The glass on my 90gal is 1cm (apx 0.5in)
The brace came loose (poor repair job,before me) and the front (back too probably) bowed out about 1inch at the top (only 24inches vs your 20),
really made me very nervous. I thought it was going to break for sure!. Also in reef tanks there is a lot of flow, so there is additional forces on the glass and don't forget thinner seams too,as well as heat from the MH.
Soooo splurge and sleep at night spend the extra $50!! IMHO
