Sorry, I guess I didn't explain myself very well. Yes, grab the glass. Cut it to 28" wide. The glass calculator I used says 1/2" glass would only be safe to about 28" depth. Use that 28" X 7' piece of glass to build a plywood tank.

Wow, that thing was a monster in it's own right to get out of the dumpster and carry it across the street to the house! BUT IT"S MINE NOW!!!!
Now if I take It back over to the shop to have them cut it down......what .....height ....and .....width..would I need them cut it to?
I need a good safe size to build the plywood tank of 24" deep (front to back).
I am trying to give my two new Clown Knifes the best tank I can.
I Have been into home repair most of my life and know how to build Most things given the dominions needed.
if you wanna build two tanks, cut it, 7'x20''x1/2''
make your plywood tank 4ft wide, and you have two 350 gallon tank, Maybe combine them together to make a 700 gallon tank. Or a 350 gallon with two side for viewing.
or just get the glass cut 7'x28''x1/2''. Build one tank 4 feet wide, it would be 488 gallons roughly.

nah... you were in yer prime when computers hit the scene... you just missed the boat...
1/2" is more than fine for 28" tall..
my tank is 30" tall 24" front to back with 1/2" (6' long.. aka standard 220g)
1/2" is used for 30"x24"x8'.... so for 28"x24"x7' you are set
