The glass thickness only constrains the height and length between supports. You could use it for 1,000,000 gallon tank if you keep it around 30" tall.

i agree:)
 
i say it will be fine
but that is my design for the glass i have which is also 1/2 inch
my glass is 6' long yours is 4'
i would use all 3 of your big pieces in the front to get this size of tank or shorten your tank to 9' long to get the same look

remember height of the tank is the most important factor in glass thickness
i am no expert tho so remember that also

but the possibilities are endless for the glass you have
just throwing this out there for you to chew on

try garf.org and go to DIY section an under tank building go to ply wood tank. it will tel you how think of glass but it will only allow you go to 96"x36"x36".

Height is what directly determines glass thickness... I like the idea of using all the glass on one tank too.

you'd be safe going 36" tall with 1/2" glass.

Play around with the numbers here...

this is my design for my plywood tank using the glass from my 135 gal tank

i
108X34X36 = 572 gallons
