Acrylic Thickness Question

For those of you who have worked with building your own acrylic tanks before could you help me get and idea for roughly how thick the acrylic would need to be for a tank that had the dimension of approximately 24x36x12. That is in the ball park of 50 gallons or so. Could I get away with using 1/8" acrylic or would I need to go with the 1/4" of maybe even more. How do you make this determination.
