1/2" worked for me for 48" deep. I used tempered glass for my project. If you are in doubt see if you can get 5/8"

Well..... I used a puppy to get my way LOL... So I'm out of ideas for you. OR you can conceed to her that she wears the pants in the family and proceed to thank her for allowing you to love her.... Nothin' like a little brown nosing :lol: Then hand her flowers and beg for forgiveness 
Very sweet.. I'm going to hit my friend up to get me a quote at our annual pig roast in June.. If I can get a good price from him for what I need and he brings it to me, rock on.. Otherwise I will hit you up and maybe meet you at Great Lakes Brewery and buy you some lunch one weekend and we can do some businessCHBGator said:
What do you think about the size? a 50ish by 44ish open area for a 57x48 pane of glass, what thickness, assuming a 10'x4'x4' tank... I cant find a formula I can understand... I Use to be an IT programer but I can not do math for the life of me!

Well I have run out of wood for now but here is a pic of what I got done this morning.. One center "stand" upright, there will be 2x6 caps on the end too if you think from the pic it looks short in relation to the joist box; oh and the outer rim of the joist box
All you carpenter folks out there don't make fun of the scabs i used, I didn't want too but I had to use what I had/could get.. At least I put them on opposite ends and recessed them from the complete ends. There will be joists on either side of them too so that will help with the weakness of the area.
