i talked to a few people about doing 24" high x 96" and 3/8 was still rated to small for a good safety factor .. but then again .. i love the over kill

 

[Rivermud]

3/8's is actually rated safe up to 28 inches deep.

if anything else you have enough glass you can double it up that would help

I think we will be just fine. Every site I checked said 24 is acceptable. We may try for 26 on the 415, but the 600+ will only have 24 for sure. Thanks to fishfobia who noticed the glass 5 years ago, let it sit there, and then told us about it. We will be building a special custom corner tank for him as a thank you (pending his wife's approval of the location). We will be detailing the work the best we can. I will have a new video posted soon.
