  Tank Design for wave box

  Posted: January 22nd, 2012, 12:49pm CST by lcornelius

  Hi all,
  
  I need your input on the following:
  
  Tank will be 2000 x 1000 x 750 (water level at 700).
  I will be running 2 Tunze 6105's in the tank, but would like to add a Tunze wave box as well. I would like to create a wave effect in the tank.
  
  The tank will be braced at the top.
  
  The question would be on glass thickness, can I use 12mm or should I use 15mm or even thicker glass? I need to make sure the glass can handle the stress of the wave effect.
