230 gallon+ tank glass thickness

[Jakec96]

Hello all,

I'm trying to build a tank that is 84" long 30" tall and 24" deep. How thick should the glass be? And how many top braces would I need? Going for 2 braces.

Thanks

for a 30" high tank id suggest no less than 16mm , 19mm best.
for bracing id say euro bracing would be the best bet.
