Glass THickness

[zoechance]

Hi All
Its me again. "Concerned in California" LOL! I am the 1 who posted last month about acrylic vs glass in earthquake country. I am finally about to order my tank. Thanks for all of your suggestions as I decided to go with a glass tank. My preference and it seems for a smaller tank I should be OK with either... My tank dimensions will likely be 40L x 24D x 20H (about 83 gallons). I will order star fire glass and eurobracing. My question is what glass thickness should I request?
I can't wait to be able to post pics of my tank. Maybe 1 day soon.... I am sooo close to ordering my tank.... THis last detail will seal the deal. appreciate your suggestions

1/2" is good. Unless you want overbuilt then go with 3/4"

10mm would be fine. 12mm would be better. I think for 90G 10mm is pretty standard with starphire.

thanks for your replies. I will go with at least 1/2 inch thick, 12mm!
