Building A glass tank

[lotsoftats]

Will 3/8 glass be good for a 24x18x18 tank? I want it to be rimless.

10mm will be fine for this tank. Would put a 10 mm euro inside at the bottom of the tank. Tanks use a thicker bottom panel (or tempered) partially for strength and/or a wider bottom seam, but this can be circumvented by using full bottom support on a rimless tank, and an internal euro at the bottom.

+1 :)

don't forget to space the glass with something. I use a cloths hanger wire. Works out to about 1/16" which was perfect for my frag tank.

Happy Reefing
