FD2R Posted March 18, 2012 Share Posted March 18, 2012 Hi all. Would be getting a tank. Size is 42 x 41 x 42. My only worry is that the glass is 6mm. Would it able to support? Is the tank gonna break? Thx! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tanit Posted March 19, 2012 Share Posted March 19, 2012 I assume unit are in cm. this should have no problem as my current tank is 30"x 15"x12.5" high also use 6mm glass. And still give me safety factor of 6.

SRC Member peacemaker Posted March 23, 2012 SRC Member Share Posted March 23, 2012 Who is your tank maker? 6mm glass thickness should be fine if it is done by a reputable tank maker. If you just want to have a peace of mind, go for 8mm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
