I want to build a tank. 60"x30"x30". what size glass and name or part number for silicone.
 
Defiantly want to use either RTV 108 or RTV 103 from Grainger. As far as glass thickness, there is a chart floating around on the interwebs with how thick you need to go depending on what distance you're trying to cover.
 
Thanks. yea Ive been looking at some charts but was also hoping to hear from some rebel tank builders with personal experience.
 
You would prob need at least 5/8 glass or better. I like the 30" from front to back but it kills you cost wise cause u need the thicker glass. When its done it will b nice to scape though.
