Tanker Posted January 1, 2006 Report Share Posted January 1, 2006 I believe 15" high is the max for standard glass, and you could go higher with tempered (24" is the tallest I have heard of but for the price, you can buy 1/2" for less). Not a professional opinion, but based on my research. You can use the calculator @ Garf.org and play with numbers... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rodsboys Posted January 1, 2006 Author Report Share Posted January 1, 2006 I have a friend that will build me a tank for free.He has an almost unlimited amount of 1/4" glass.I have an area in the house that is just over 66" so I would like to do a tank that is say 60"X 18"X ??

CRMW Posted January 1, 2006 Report Share Posted January 1, 2006 (edited) I looked into it a few years ago, I think 18" high was the max for 1/4" glass. Chris Edited January 1, 2006 by CRMW Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
