right im thinking of building a 9x5x2.5 plywood tank the piece of glass will be 8x2.5 how think will this have to be???? thanks for any help
 
My 30" tall tanks all have 1/2" glass.
 
Mine front glass is 2740mm x 685mm and 15mm. You could go to 19mm but you should need to go any thicker than that. my two cents worth :)
 
25mm at least aka 1" although its only 30" tall it is 5 foot wide so atleast 25mm perhaps 30mmid prob go 30mm just to be safe

depends on the bracing, 1/2" with bracing sounds good. The tank to my immediate left is 96 long, 36 tall with no bracing, glass is 3/4"
