    So take measurements, and go to a glass store with it? what type of glass do you suggest?

    Thanks for all the help!

    I still haven't had a chance to build this design myself yet.

    Hmmm I have tomorrow off. I might just have to give it a shot for fun. Lets have a build off. I'll do a ten gallon too.

    We shall, we shall. But I'm a novice at best...again, what type of glass?

    Yep

    I think Lowe's uses 3/32" thick. I've used it before, but I really don't like how brittle and weak it feels. If you are going to a glass shop, I would just get something a little thicker than that. I think 1/8" would do the trick nicely.

    No problem. I'll see if I can get one built and tested before the end of the weekend.
