Your dealing with 454 G's of water hear, so you do not want any stuff ups. I suggest looking at other large tanks and seeing how they're braced.
I looked around and it seems that 3/8 glass is normally used on tanks 26" hieght.I would have used 1/2 glass if I had gone any deeper.I was worried that it maybe difficult to reach the middle of the tank if I went deeper thats why only 26" deep
just to keep updated on this conversation ...
personally; I would be more inclined to get thicker glass.
That much water for me would be some BIG fish that could knock something
over into the glass an break it!
I think next year I may be cutting out my fireplace for a custom tank w/ ventilation (humidity control).
