is 3/32" thick glass thick enough for a 6 inch tall tank?

title explains most of it but the dimensions will be 36x12x6
those dimensions sound almost cursed but hear me out
I would have enough glass for bracing if that's necessary
only thing i'd be concerned about is bowing when it's that wide and thin but water pressure shouldn't be too much of a problem
 
That is very thin, even for a 6" tall tank. It wouldn't be the pressure of water that would scare me. What would scare me more would be an accidental knock during maintainance or something innocent like that.

Surely for a tiny tank like that it would be better, for peace of mind, if you got a few scraps of thicker glass from a local glaziers or something, probably only cost pennies and then you've got a tank you can trust.
