Hey all,

I need a sanity check on glass thickness.

Here is what I am ordering:

3X 8" x 24 9/16"
1X 15.5" x 24 9/16"
1x 14” x 24 9/16”

The sump itself is 1/2” glass, 48x26x16 tall roughly.

Is 6mm glass thick enough for these? The 14” piece will hold back about 6” of water above the slimmer chamber, the 15.5” piece will hold full height as ATO chamber.
