Building my own aquarium.

So I work in a glass factory, can get any thickness I want, want to a 40 gallon rimless. Would 6mm glass be suffice to not euro brace? Or should I just do it anyways (glass is free)

I mean you should do it anyway, having access to glass and cutting easily :)

I see a lot of rimless 40B designs at around 12mm of glass. 6mm is ... not going to be great IMO.

That is, by far, the best use of access to job site materials XD

Prob go 14 mm

You think 14? I can regularly get up to 12mm (1/2") but we actually don't run 14mm we run 10,12,19, and 21mm, 2.3mm being our smallest.

 

[Cole.mormon]

Do a 19 to be safe or go for a 65 gal if possible

 

[Cole.mormon]

6mm is no where near sufficient

12mm is fine. Consider a Waterbox 130.4 with a 96G display tank uses 12mm glass.

OP might want to build his own

12mm has been cut and brought home. Problem with 12 mm cutting euro braces out of 12mm is gonna be a pain.

Would you even need the braces using 12mm on the tank?
