150g tank problems

[peewee]

hey guys, i want some opinions on my tank that i want to be built tomorrow, it's going to be a 150G tank, ya'll know the dimension of that, a standard 150g, 60X24X24. Now i want to ask if a 1/4 thick glass would be going to withstand the pressure if it's going to be filled up with water eventually, i know it's better off 1/2 thick but because of financial concerns, is it already enough when 1/4 thick glass is going to be used? i need all your opinions guys. thanks a lot.

go to www.garf.org they have calculators to help you figure it out. there is a title to build your own tank. You type in the size and it figures everything out for you

on second thought that site didn't provide me with the answer that i need. i want to know if a 1/4" glass would be able to with stand the water pressure from a 150G tank, your standard 60x24x24. i'll just rephrase my question to make things easy, i would like to ask you 150G tank owners, (60x24x24) tanks, what is the thickness of your tanks? please help me out.
