Does anybody got an experience about diy aquarium with 1/8" thick glass?

I've got pre-owned unique 20gallon Japanese style aquarium but I couldn't use it because it's leaking every where. So I needed to make a decision whether threw away or re-seal it. When I dismantled it to dispose of it I found that the glass out 1/8 "thick. Of course this has stainless frame on all side edges and bottom edge too. But I think that its too thin for 20gallon water resist.

What do you think about it? Please comment on this question because I have plan to make diy aquarium with this glass sheets for baby discus.

Thanks.

Welcome to MFK :)

Well no wonder it leaked, I wouldn't say it's suitable glass for a tank of that size. I think my 8 gal is already 3mm thick
