Hi all!

quick question.
I have asked a shop on a price for a tank with custom meassurement.
the tank i asked is 120 x 36 x 36cm. So around 155 liters.

-so here’s the question. He suggested 8mm floatglass. My own research on glassthickness was in that ballpark too, but i’d like to hear your thoughts?
If any....

Tank is ordered and should arrive in 8-12 weeks.
I felt like a daredevil and went with the 8mm glass thickness.

I hope my A. atahualpas will be happy in their next home.

SURPRISE....:)
Apparently, they could deliver anyway and even sooner than first expected.
Now i just need a bit of Wood to make the new rack.
Can’t wait to get started.
