Would 3/8" thick glass be safe for a Peacock Mantis?

  1. Yes, the glass is plenty thick and shouldn't break.

    The lexan I had worked fine for a couple months. When I removed the lexan pieces I left the back one in since I never look through that side anyway. It got so dirty between the lexan and the glass you couldn't see through it. Impossible to clean too.

    If I were going to do it again I would run a bead of silicone around the lexan so water can not get between the lexan and glass.
