About to build my third acrylic tank and making it larger.

My last was 60x24x24 with 1/2" acrylic and has a very slight bow. Less than 1/8" I even did support brace on top.

My next build is a 92x24x24.
What I'm thinking is 1" front and back, 3/4" sides, bottom & top.

Is this a good or bad idea?
 
Should be fine, maybe even overkill. But with this hobby sometimes that isn't a bad thing...
