DIY Euro-Bracing (40 breeder)

[betta]

Hey! I am attempting to euro-brace my 40 breeder, as I got it used and the top trim was all cracked up and not pretty at all. I picked up some glass at Home Depot, but I wasn't able to find the thickness I wanted. From what I have heard, it is recommended to use the same thickness glass on the brace as what is on the tank itself. Unfortunately, the glass I was able to find is around half the thickness of the tank glass. Is this a huge problem? I can't seem to find thicker glass anywhere that isn't super expensive. The ideal situation would be that I could just use the glass I have, but if it's a bad idea please let me know!

Also, what type of bracing do you guys recommend? I've seen cross, euro, cross + euro, etc and I'm not sure what is the best choice. Cross is the easiest because I would only need one small piece, but again if that is not the best choice then just let me know!

Thanks in advance for any answers!

you are gonna want some reasonably thick glass for that and 1/4” isn’t enough (if thats the thicknesses)

The glass on the 40 breeder is 0.6 mm, while the glass I bought is 0.3 mm.
