Sure, I will.That's a bummer about the wrong size. It's good that the manufacturer was able to re-size it for you. I mentioned in your other thread that I think the main risk is safety - as you said. The standard glass may not be as tough and will likely break into sharp shards if broken. I would probably pick plexiglass as a second choice to tempered glass, but since you already have the glass manufactured may as well stick with it. Do you have updated photos of the enclosure? The older ones haven't migrated (yet - it's in progress) and aren't showing. I would think the smaller the piece, the less risk. If you're using it for a front facing window on a door, then setting it within a sturdy frame of some kind would likely improve the stability of the glass and reduce the risk of it breaking. If you set it along with some sort of semi-flexible caulk, that may provide some extra (slight) give and flexibility against vibration etc.
That’s my fear lol. I can’t count how many times I’ve stupidly left the door open on his current (tempered glass) tank, and knocked into them.I use un-tempered glass in my builds. Most of my builds (all?) are actually designed around the precut sheets of glass you can buy off the shelf at home depot. Yes, if they break, they break into sharp shards and you need to be careful cleaning them up. But I've never had one break during normal use of the tank/glass.
I've broken glass twice, and both times it's because I slid the glass doors open, forgot they were open, and walked into them lol.

I made a DIY background in an old dresser...and I didn't think k it through now my highest ledge is only 8.5 inches from the ceiling...and I'm freaking out. Lol your's is looking good.It’s been a while. Got caught up in busy life,
So I haven’t had time to work on this for a while. Good news though, I changed glass manufacturer and this new guy has got it all ready in less than two weeks. Hopefully, I’ll be able to pick the glass up this week and fit it in the viv.
Here’s the background as it currently is, in the back of the viv frame. I’ll be honest, I’m disappointed with it so far.
