    Trying to order the items to drill my tank this week, does anyone else have a perfecto tank that is a 75gal? If so how thick would you say the glass is 1/4" or 1/2"?

    I'd bet it isn't 1/2". I was getting quotes for a 180 Gal, and all came back with quotes for 3/8" glass.

    my 90 is 3/8. at least i hope it is. that what my pin spacer for my mp40 is set at. i know i measured it on the edge of the tank.

    a 90 is very close in dimension to a 75 i think it just a little taller
