if you were to build a glass tank LxWxH 120x36x30 how thick would be safe? Would 3/4 glass be sufficient w/ euro bracing? I would appreciate any comments on the matter. Any personal experiences with the same dimensions.....I've searched the site for the same dimensions but, no thickness info. Thanks.

3/4" as mentioned but with a 1" for the bracing. It's gonna be heavy.

My 450 which I received yesterday (96"x36"x32") has 1" glass all the way with three 1/2" thick 6" wide (I think) tempered cross braces. The front and sides are laminated starphire.

thanks for all the help guys....just wanted to know for sure. Any one have drawings of how eurobracing looks like and how wide it should be for the dimensions above? Thanks again for the help.
