The thickness of the acrylic has little to nothing to do with the length and width of the tank. If you made a frag tank 4'Lx4'Wx1'H and it wasn't rimless, you could make it from 1/4" material. Also, acrylic bottoms have to be supported underneath, so thicker is unnecessary, and some people even go thinner (although I really wouldn't recommend it since savings are minimal).

Xfragmanx, how tall do you want the tank (determines material thickness)? What type of frags (determines lighting and can therefore effect the size of openings in the top of the tank)?
