Even if its not 1/2" you can make the tank 25", just lift the glass up off the floor about 5". It wont have as much pressure on it then. If your 125 is 18", make your top viewing area 18'.NJKILLSYOU;797817; said:ok well my idea was to take my perfectly fine 125 and use the glass for a bigger tank. i dont know if its a great idea, but it is an idea. haha.

If you keep the glass a few inches above the bottom of the tank it sounds good, like jem 454 says just keep the top of the galss at the top of the tank and it would work out fine

i dont think thats true............why do you say tank length doesnt enter into the calc for glass thickness
it is definitely is not true for plastic !!!!!
eg 48x48 needs 1.3 in thick cell cast
48x120 needs 2.0 inch
with a closed top..........bigger difference if its open top

Because he is going to make the tank 72", just like the 125 he is taking apart.
