Building a sump tank 800x300x500

I'm looking to build my new sump tank it needs to be 800 long 500 wide and 300 tall. I was going to use 10mm base and 6mm for the sides with a 20mm bracing around the top.

Would these dimensions be ok with the thickness of material?

I'm looking into using Acrylic but I would like advice on glass as well to cover all the bases.

For us Metric challenged thats what about 31"x19"x11" Bottem 3/8" Sides1/4" Euro Brace 3/4"

If Glass I dont' see any problem with it at all.. Acrylic would probably need thicker Sides or atleast a much wider Brace around it..

Isn't is it a bit unnerving that doctors call what they do "practice"?

Who wants everything divisible by powers of 10. What a silly way to look at the world!
