Pond Height Concern - Glass Thickness

[JK47]

I can always Cover the height of the glass with support as well.

Or somehow bury the rest of the glass below the tank. I say go for it.

Interesting alternative.

Sorry for being a pain. WHat if I were to add a support across the length of the glass at the 36" height of the pond? I would run the water level at 28"-30". Would that impact the integrity of the glass/tank?

Even just that without the support along the water line would probably improve things significantly because you're cutting the depth of the water by 25%.

I’d be very tempted to source another 96” x 48” panel and laminate it together and do this ....

Lol .... the first time I saw one of those infinity viewing windows on a fibreglass tank I thought it looked a bit sexy

You could use the smaller piece and have the window towards the top of the tank. The water column depth at the bottom would only be like 22". But youd be looking down or to the side for a large portion of the tank.
