Glass size

[David Abbott]

I am going today or tomorrow to buy the glass for a new 125 gal. tank. I've hrard a lot of talk about the glass size. There all different. The display is going to be 60" long 27" high and 20" deep. If I could get a solid answer it would help me sleep tonight. HAHA. Thanks David Abbott

if you are asking what thickness to use, I would go with 1/2" for the sides and 3/8" for the bottom if budget is a concern

I agree with @RacinJason I would use a 1/2" or (12mm) thick glass for a 125.

Will you be doing any bracing?

Only reason I ask is because when I had my current tank built, 60L x 36W x 24H, I was informed that I needed 1/2” glass and top eurobracing from my builder. If I wanted the same tank built as rimless I needed to step up to 3/4” glass.

You might want to contact a builder and get their opinion.
