So I started building a 300g+ plywood tank. You can check out my build on my site.

I currently in the process of trying to get glass for the tank. I figured who better to ask than the monster fish keepers.
So I got a couple quotes back for glass.
Shop 1
"Your price for a 68 1/2" x 33" Clear plate with high flat polish 5/8" will call will be $729.67. If you went with 1/2" you would be looking at $316.51"
Shop 2
Here is pricing for 1ea. Clear 5/8" glass 68 1/2 x 33
material 766.00
tax 63.58
Total 829.58
I'm wondering if I could get away with the 1/2" glass. The plate would be sitting about 1" off the bottom of the tank and the water line would sit around 32" up from that. What do you folks think?
