wilson Posted March 9, 2007 Report Share Posted March 9, 2007 hm maybe they ment to put 16 mm i think 6 mm wont hold all that weight..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpidersWeb Posted March 9, 2007 Report Share Posted March 9, 2007 Definately will not be made of 16mm glass. It is probably 6mm glass. I've got tanks here of those same dimensions except shorter (1.2m instead of 1.8m) and they're fine. You can see its got full bracing around the top, so I'd wager that its fine just dont bounce things off the glass :lol: Some of the tech guys will surely let you know the official 'saftey factor' but I'd personally set that up without thinking twice. The tank may be long, but its not very wide or tall. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alanmin4304 Posted March 9, 2007 Report Share Posted March 9, 2007 I would want at least 10mm glass on a tank that long and high. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smidey Posted March 9, 2007 Report Share Posted March 9, 2007 in my opinion, looking at the picture the glass seems to be thicker than 6mm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sharronpaul Posted March 9, 2007 Report Share Posted March 9, 2007 I have a tank 1800x450x450, in 6mm, euro braced top and bottom. It's fine, has had some big knocks from the inhabitants and its going strong. 8mm would be a bit more conservative, but 6mm has worked for me.

Thunderstorm Posted March 10, 2007 Report Share Posted March 10, 2007 i had a tank about 7 years ago the same spec as that one all in 6mm, had 4 200mm cross braces with 50mm edge brace top and bottom on all edges. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
