    I will soon be starting my diy frag tank. I plan on the demensions being 30x30x 9.5. i would like a recomendations on thickness of acrylic I should order. I don't want it to thin to where it bows out but I also don't need it to be bulletproof lol. was thinking 3/16

    thanks

    That not real deep so won't need to be too thick but I would go with at least 3/8". That's just me though. Also I feel the seams would be stronger with the thicker material, and 30" is a fairly long seam for 3/16" material.
