building a 375

[dragonfish18]

i am planning on building a custom acrylic aquarium about 350-375 gallons im woundering if i used acrylic how thick would i need it?.......i know its not cheap

 

[Liam]

the real question is... how high will the tank be?

 

[dragonfish18]

the dementions are 72x37.5x30.5 LxWxH

hmm acrylic at 37.5 which is a tad bigger then 3 foot. this is prolly wrong but I'd be looking at .75" acrylic. maybe half inch but leave it to the experts (chompers, lmao)

 

[Liam]

actually, imo 12mm, half inch.

i think you need the hight (30.5in) 37.5 was the width
