I'm looking looking to build a small frag tank hopefully going to do 36 x20 and 12 tall do you think quarter inch acrylic would do the job with three braces?
 
Top Shelf Aquatics
I would go 9mm
 
How about 48"L 18"W 18"H and 72"L 30"W 12"H ?
 
There is an excel file floating around the interwebs that is an acrylic thickness calculator. It’s fairly conservative and works great for what-if scenarios like this.

HOW IMPORTANT ARE FISH TO MAKING A REEF TANK FEEL COMPLETE?

  • Essential! A reef needs fish movement and personality

    Votes: 31 64.6%

  • Very important, but one or two fish may be enough

    Votes: 5 10.4%

  • Optional... a coral-only reef can feel completely finished

    Votes: 2 4.2%

  • I actually prefer a coral-and-invertebrate-only system

    Votes: 0 0.0%

  • It depends on the tank’s size, style, or purpose

    Votes: 8 16.7%

  • I’ve kept a fishless reef (details in the comments)

  • Well...it's complicated... (answer in the comments)
