I about to have a new tank built, It will be a wood in wall tank with an Acrylic viewing panel. I really want it to be 72 long X 48 high X 32 front to back but I am unsure what Acrylic thickness to use for the front viewing panel. The tank will be FOWLR. I cant go more than 32" from front to back without doing a lot of work to the room where the tank will be. The tank will be braced around the trim of the front viewing panel and there will be eurobracing on the top as well. will 1 inch do or should I go up to 1 1/4" I know of people that have 1 1/4 inch on full acrylic tanks of this size but I know I will have a lot more bracing than those tanks, so can I get away with 1" any help would be great.

Thanks in advance
