I helped a friend pick up a used AGA 125 gallon he found on Craig's List tonight, but is has 1/4" glass. I think standard is more like 3/8". Did AGA ever make all-tempered tanks using thinner glass, or should I just assume this is a terrarium? Thanks, everybody.

i think 3/8 or 1/2 is more standard. 1/4 would have to be tempered or it probably would be a dangerous situation.

I agree. The seller said it holds water, but I would like some more info before doing a test fill.

Thanks for the input, everybody. I think this tank has a future as a terrarium.
