i couldnt find 1/8 inch track... what did everyone else use. for glass thickness

i used 1/4 " plexi glass for 1, 120gallon and 2 30 gallon tanks and it cost me about $120 just for the plexi glass

i think real glass may even cost more

It seems to me from looking at the same thing for my viv that real glass is cheaper at least in the .125 thickness. But Home Depot has plexiglass that is .220 thickness in various sizes. I think that would work well with the rails you ordered. ~Mike~

the only thing with plexi ,,, is ive read alot that it scratches esay... so i was trying to find out what size glass everyone uses..

Plexi does get scratched but its easy to buff out.

I used two 1/4 " plate glass pieces for my viv. I had them cut and the edges finished at a local plate glass company. Each piece was 24" x 15" and cost $22 each. The glass is a bit heavy, but I like the feel of the heaviness and I don't need a lock to keep the doors secure.
