I'm building an aquarium and its going to have the back, left, right,and bottom made with acrylic glass reinforced with a osb and 2x4 walls but the front is going to be glass and idk how thick I used and onion calculator and it said for my 8ft long 2.5 ft tall and 6 ft deep I could use .7in glass but if I put a brace in the middle could I make it taller?
