Even for a full tank build, it doesn't seem accurate. You could figure for my 210 - 96 x 24 x 20. Mine is made of 1/2" acrylic and it said that I would need way thicker than that.
i think its very accurate........its based on engineering numbers not on your wallet or what a tank company builds with.Pharaoh;2971656; said:Even for a full tank build, it doesn't seem accurate.

Or, according to this thing, I needed a 4.5 in thick sheet to just serve as a plain freestanding window on my DIY build.
I ran a few test numbers through the formula just to caluclate some consistency factors. A 210G tank comes out to 0.65". So, I do agree with the true calculator, but there is no account for the amount of bowing on either of the situations, my 1/2" acrylic 210, the assumed build of a 210G tank.johnptc;2974032; said:i think its very accurate........its based on engineering numbers not on your wallet or what a tank company builds with.
using these numbers the tank sides should be flat
