  Glass thickness

  Posted: February 7th, 2012, 12:17pm CST by PopGun

  Gents
  A tank being 1200mm (L) x 1500mm (W) x 800mm (H), what would the glass thickness need to be?
  It will have braces on the top.....
  
  Ive been told 12mm is fine, but I want to make double sure
  Its also not Starfire glass if that makes a strength difference.
  
  I tried the model, excel sheet calculator and it said 16mm.
