Urgent Question.. Need help!

[Steven Brown]

Dear members,

I'm currently planning to buid a glass aquarium (open-top) with the following measurements:
Width: 3 meters and 25 cm
hight: 770 cm
Depth: 190 cm

I need to know how thick the glass should be. and should I use supporters?

Many thanks to you all.

my 6 foot tank (2 meters) is half inch glass, you're going to need to go at least that thick, and maybe even 3/4. I don't see how you could do a glass tank that large rimless, so you'd definitely need the bracing at the top

Thank you very much for your reply. Yes, I'll use 4 support braces at the top But I guess in my case. I'll go with 0.75 Inch.

What product do you recommend to seal the sheets of glass together?

Thanks again!
