planning a 460 gal all glass

[saganeer]

Hi guys i´m planning on building a 460 gal all glass tank measurements are: lenght 3.3m X height .70m X wide .75m ( 130"X27.5"X29.5") with 1/2" glass, what do you think?, do you think it will hold?? according to my calculations it´s going to hold, but my glass safety factor it is 2.37 kind of low i think. my stand is already made, it´s made of concrete, i can´t make it of plywood because here in monterrey, mexico, it´s hard to find aquarium safe epoxy sealers.

thanks
