Glass Thickness for new Tank !

[Paradi]

hello people,

need your help with a new custom all glass tank with some weird measurements , this is the only place left for a new tank, with these measurements...

its 56' L X 20' W X 30' H Aprox 130G

so what do you think the glass thickness should be for all sides and base, also i would like to ask about the stand, wood ? steel ? or what, you sure know the best, iam in the 4rth floor, concrete building, iam a lil concerned about the weight thing, thanks in advance , I know you can help me finish this thing perfect :rollface:

According to GARF 1/2" glass will work.

Garf (http://www.garf.org/) then go to DIY pages.

I agree, 1/2"

Garf said 3/8" for a 60x22x22 tank. Is that too dangerous??

I think garf use a way too low security factor..

my old 50G 20" high, 36" long is 3/8"
