Looking to build a tank...

[tekcoR deR]

Hey everyone! I was hoping someone would be kind enough to answer some questions and double check my dimensions.
I was going to ask a local shop for 3/8 plate glass panels cute to size
My current plan is to silicone the sides around the bottom plate, the dimensions i wrote up are:
Bottom- 35 2/8" L x 23 2/8" W
Front&Back- 36" L x 16" H
Sides- 23 3/8" L x 16" H

Do these align for you guys? Do I Need to leave room for silicone? Should the bottom be thicker than the sides? Can I get away keeping it rimless? Does it seem like I am missing anything?

Picture of some rock I got that pushed me to this build and the footprint of the bottom. Decided to put the sides on top of the bottom.

I build my own tank and I let 1/16 inch for the silicone bead

my dad did most the work but I helped put the sides up . I think it looks awesome, hopefully things hold up. Costed me a fraction of a new tank
