Default Glass thickness

Hi all,

I am building a hudge terrarium (185 gallons). You can see pictures of the base at this url :

The height of the glass will be 42 inches.

I was thinking to use the following thickness :

bottom : 5 mm
sides : 4 mm
back : 5 mm
front : 5mm
top: 5 mm

Will that be ok ?

Thank you

is that the thickness of the glass?
It seems a bit thin, but if you wont use it for holding water, then I think it will be nice!

yes this is for the glass.


Maybe I should go for 6 mm for the bottom...

There will be a small pound of around 15 gallons.
