Thickness of glass?

[Repti-Racks]

acrylic can be polished out very easily youll be supprised how little it will scratch . I would get more quotes on those prices. ive done several glass tanks in the past and boy it was alot less.
good luck with it

im not a big fan of acrylic either. im a heavy remodeler and end up scratching it too much. it buffs out, but im not comfortable with the operation with animals in the tank. having to break it down because i muffed up moving one rock, or having to deal with a scratch until a complete remake are not options for me anymore, so ive been going with glass (or glass and plywood) tanks.

i would go with 6mm minimum though. your tank wont have the experience the same types of pressure as a fish tank, but even the weight of the tank is going to be pretty great and it needs to be able too support itself and whatever deco is attached to it.

definatly post pics when you start this thing, no matter what you build it out of :lol:

I am with landon on all acounts I keep several kinds of animals and Glass is my buddy (one day Id love to work with glass and plywood). I would definatly look for a better deal on glass though. I got the glass for the 10 gallon vert viv i m bulding (one day ill get bact to it, financial trouble ) for 6.45. That is U.S. Dollar im not shure of conversion rates but that included the cutting of the glass and beveling the sharpness off the edges.
