Plexi-glass question

[foxykitty911@hotmail.com]

I know that most people here use the false bottom method when building the set-ups, but I am a beginner DIY'er! I Want to do a 3/4 water 1/4 land FBT set-up with a 20 long. I am planning on using plexi-glass as my seperater. How thick should it be? I called my local glass place and they told my that their PG starts at 1/8. Is that too thin?

Ok so I went to the glass store and yes, 1/8 seemed too thin. The thickest plexi-glass they had was 1/4 so hopefully thats good.

1/4 inch should do fine. Just to clarify you want to use it a a divider and not a FB type by drilling holes in it, correct?

[foxykitty911@hotmail.com]

I will be using it as a divider.

In that case 1/4 inch should do fine. Hope you work it out. One recommendation is to round the bottom corners it will allow the plexi to sit flush with the bottom edges of the aqaurium. Good luck.

Do keep in mind that plex scratches easily if any portion is going to be visible.

I am planning on gluing small pebbles to the one side of the plexi glass that will be visual.
