u dont need .5" it would be a waste. use 3/8" it will handle the preasure just fine.

Thanks dlo but I used 1/4 before and flexed way to much I'm an over kill guy I don't wanna have to do it all again one day

lol i get u, however, plexiglass is much more flexible then acrylic, acrylic is much more ridged thus prone to crack when too much pressure is applied(like that 1500g tank that popped). im pretty familiar with both plastics i used 3/8 on my fuge and its 30g 24x15x24. no flexing, and my floor is still dry

Chuck - are you talking about Lexan?

You can get either at ARV Precision - they are located in Farmingdale just north of the Southern State off 110..look in the real Yellow Pages. He usually carries - or can get you - anything you want. Tell him Kathy from MR sent you

Canal Plastic sells them.
They are in Chinatown on Canal St.
