You aren't going to be able to buy the glass you need, to construct a tank this size, from the home depot. You'd better put a little more effort into your research before building.
Yeah I just figured that out im just going to my local glass shop what thickness would you recommend for a tank this size
There's a sticky on this at the top of the diy tank forum

all kinds of good info to be found here, looks like your probably looking at a min of 12mm but to be honest that seems thin to me...

Min 19mm think floor and min of 15mm walls. You may want to jump on to your savings quick mate. As glass tank are not cheap. And now that you builing a fairly good sized tank, glass gets extremly pricey over 12m. To give you a idea i just priced building my own 8ftLx5ftWx3ftH, for glass alone i'm looking at just over $4k. $4000AUD just for glass mate.
And please dude if this is your first time building a tank. Don't build this one. Build a smaller maybe 4ft or something just so you can practise a small build befor you flood your house.

19mm floor and 15mm are the very very very min you should use, however i suggest thicker as its better to be safe than sorry
Alrite well the tank needs to house 2 motoros 1 silver aro 2 pbass and 1 Florida Gar what is the minimal dimensions I would need
Haha sorry about all these questions I need to do this right and most people on this site have done successful tank builds before and I need there advice and I need to find out all dimensions and thickness for those fish
