WHew! Thanks Antwan! I just didnt want to see a post that your tank cracked or exploded or whatever because the glass was too thin or something.

Dimensions coming up. Dont use temper bottoms just in case you ever decide to drill the bottom for overflows or something (lets say you go salt one day). Thats just my opinion.

Dimensions using all 1/2" glass!

Bottom - 48"l x 18"w
Front/Back - 49"l x 24.5"h
Ends - 24.5"h x 18"w

This will give you inside dimenions of 24hx48lx18w = 20736 cubic inches = 89.766G

(Notice the 24.5" height! Thats why I got worried!)

Ok,
Bottom=48" x 18"
Front/Back=49" x 24.5"
Ends=24.5" x 18"
I'll order these pieces as soon as I can. Are you sure I won't need tempered glass? What about the gravel and rocks and stuff? You think the 1/2 in. glass on bottom is enough? Thanks RT.

You can go tempered if you want! No problem! I think 1/2" will be enough. Should anyways depends on the stand perhaps.
