Hi
I've done searches, and I think I'm fine with 1/2 " for a rimless 48x24x22 high. I was at first going to do 24" high, but the calculator here: https://www.livingreefs.com/threads/glass-thickness-calculators.21048/ (xcel file at the bottom) , says with a 3.8 safety value (not sure exactly what that is but it seems standard) that 1/2 " is the absolute thinnest safe. But .43" and thicker is ok for a 22" high.
I seen some go higher thickness for similar height tank. But 1/2" will be fine for my dimensions, right (??????).
