On the bottom, I wouldn't put anything thinner than the glass that is used on the sides. I've read on a "build your own tank" site that you should use thicker glass on the bottom.

its just the bottom, so I'd probably figure out a way to use a piece of plywood or plexiglass, or something else I don't know about. Go to the hardware store and tell the guy you need a sheet of something 6x2 that is waterproof and will hold plenty of weight. Or, post questions in the DIY forum, you'll probably get some good advice.
