I found this somewhere on the web..
Acrylic used for Aquariums should be Cell-Cast.
Do not use Extruded for anything taller than 12".
Thickness only applies to tanks 8 feet or less in length:
up to 12 inches - 1/4 inch
12 - 18 inches - 3/8 inch
18 - 24 inches - 1/2 inch
24 - 30 inches - 3/4 inch
According to this I would probably go with 25mm - 1".
