| I used the cheap 1/8" glass for my baffels in a 40 long tank works fine
why waste money in going with the thicker glass when it provides absolutly no benifit |

| I am using 1/8" for baffles and 1/4" on the walls for my fuge. To avoid live rock placement mishaps.

| Im pretty sure you can use 1/4 or even 1/8 for a baffle, 3/8 sounds a little extreme. imo.
