220 G Acrylic Build, Need Help!

HI guys!

I would like your opinion on this build. Pros are saying that only the height of the tank determine the thicknes of the acrylic needed and bracing. Mine will be fully euro brace with a extra cross brace too.

I'm looking to build a 90 x 24 x 24 in 1/2 acrylic.

What do you guys think and any of you has done something like that ?

Thx!


Heres the chart use by some compagnies :

Aquarium Height Sheet Thickness

1 to 12 inches 1/4 inch

12 - 18 inches 3/8 inch

18 - 24 inches 1/2 inch

24 - 30 inches 3/4 inch

 

my 125g is like 1/2 inches thick if that helps. Do you have a location your set on yet?

Location?

 

Location?

where is going to sit? first floor? basement? Basically is it on solid ground?

 

I think that 90" that you are not looking at will lead to more water pressure. Do they really only look at height and width? I'd get some more calculations elsewhere. I think that you should consider 1/2 inch (if you are going by inches).

 

Thanks guys, its in the basement. I decided to go 3/4 thick and euro brace it for more safety! 92x24x24!
