patmos · 10/11/2016, 01:08 AM

I am in the process of building a new tank 5'X24"X20" using 12mmm glass with eurobrace( top and bottom).
Here on my remote island,Mauritius, I cannot find 12mmm ultra clear glass for the front pane. The only thickness available is 8mm . I really want to have it ultra clear in front.
Can I use just 8mm in front and the other panes 12mm?
Secondly is it possible to use 2 X 8mm clear glass glued together in front??
By glued I mean siliconed on the inside edges to hold both panes together....
Greatly need your advice before going ahead
