I want to build a small aquarium, probably under 5 gallons, and wanted to know how thick the acrylic should be. Thanks!
How thick should glass be?

- Start date
Honestly it would probably be cheaper to buy a tank that small.
BUT if you could find an old window, pop the frame off, cut the glass and silicone. You could make a 1-15 gallon tank safely that way for the price of silicone and a glass cutter ($8-10)

The hardware store can do it for you. With thin material it really is very easy, like snapping a twig once its scored.
There's only one way to learn!

Im pretty sure you can use any thickness acrylic really, the glass on my 5g is VERY thin. building it might be fun
Ok! I thought it would be really fun too, that's why I wanted to do it! If I did go with glass though, I suppose that I could get the store to do it... Thanks for your help though! I'll have to talk with my friend who would be helping with the project
