Sorry if i misunderstood your post, but if your planning on drilling holes in your tank you'll want to stay away from tempered glass.

It plans on being drilled then tempered. And I found out I need around 10mm thick glass for an aquarium 24" tall x 36.4" long.

You don't need to have tempered glass if you build you euro brace appropriately. Another option would be to have your holes drilled by whoever you buy your glass from. This way you don't risk breaking a piece while drilling and have to by a new one.
