There are significant differences Jonathan, you know that
Would you say that if your tank was made from 1/4" acrylic, that it would be even more susceptable to such stresses? same reasoning applies, it's simply more apt to craze under the same load. Call it load relative to material thickness.

I'd agree with that. I probably should have used a term such as "at the upper reaches of it's potential"
OTOH, you can put a torch to acrylic and it will not craze. A normal load (my definition) is not enough to get acrylic to craze with the simple addition of heat.
