Still waiting on my glass, Again big thanks to grizz for all the calculations and Scuba for the overflow directions.
My glass company phoned me today and decided to tell me that my tank will Blow out if i do not use tempered glass. I of course just told them no it wont its 3/8 glass with euro brace. So what do you tank builders think of what they told me. they tryed and tryed to talk me out of it. Last edited by Steve-O-; 10-18-2011 at 01:17 AM.

Just tell them you do not want tempered glass & not to worry about what you are building. Being 20" x 16" it could have been made out of 1/4" glass & still would not blow out, so being 3/8" it will be just fine as long as you get it sealed right.

ok wanted to start and tape the glass. Was gonna run green tape over each pane to make nice even silicone lines.
So is 1/4in a good line on each pane or should i go bigger? here is a example of my bottom pane i taped.
