hi, i need advice for a diy tank, i made a L160cm x H65cm x W55cm using 12 mm tempered all sides, and this tank is rimless without any bracing, do u think the thickness of the tempered glass is enough for that size?
i made it but havent got the chance to try it, so i want to make sure about it here.

thanks
