Glass conference table for plywood aquarium?

[reptilerancher]

Hello DIY monster keepers. I was wondering if you could use the glass from a glass conference table for a aquarium viewing panel? I found a glass conference table on Cragslist that has a clear glass panel that was 14 feet long by 43 inches wide and 19mm thick the glass. The table was being sold for a thousand bucks. my question is has anyone done this or can anyone think of why it wouldn't work?

I don't know why not, I was looking for shower doors and stuff when I was building my tank. That must be a heavy mofo table

so it would be 43" tall, right? i think 19mm is coming in close for that height, especially at 14' long. i cant find anything reliable concerning the thickness you would need in a tank that size, but im assuming 25-30 mm. tbh i normally see acrylic sheets 1.5" or thicker with a panel that long because that would be one freakin heavy chunk of glass.

mayne somebody with more experience building tanks like this will know better though.
