3ft Tank For Sale

devilfire: I think your self-righteous tone is quite irritating, so what if you consult george bush himself? the whole pt of a tank bursting is all about statistics, probability, even a 10mm tank CAN crack, even a 12mm tank can crack, it depends on a lot of factors, like is the glass quality good? any batch defects? any nicks and scratches on the glass that can act as stress concentrators? any dropping of LR? What kind of glass, cuz different glass got different impact strength, tensile strength, etc etc etc.

The whole pt is not whether 6mm is enuff but if thicker is safer or not, ie, which mm thickness gives you the least probability or risks of an accident and are you willing to take that risk. if you think 6mm risk is fine then go ahead. there's no need to quote your so called "xperts". For your info, tank manufacturers are good at.... manufacturing tanks...... underwater world fellas are good at.... maintaining reefs (they don't even buy the tank to begin with), all your experts are not even relevant to the topic. what you do need is someone with engineering knowledge to tell you if 6mm is safe, and how safe. You have to calculate water volume, sand volume, LR weight, glass strength, how it is reinforced (bracings), etc ,etc then calculate the hoop and radial stress on the glass walls before comparing to the glass properties to see if its safe or not. Until you can do that for yourself, do try and be a little bit more humble.....

well said *clap clap*
