Hi, I'm building a 136 gallon soon, the measurements are 48X27X24 (LXWXH) And I'm wondering about how thick the glass should be for it. I'm thinking about just doing the front with glass and the sides with wood. Any opinions on how thick the glass should be? Any opinion is welcome :) Thanks for Reading

Best advice would be to build the enclosure and bring the measurements for the glass to your local glass shop, not home depot or lowes or ace, glass shop and tell them what you are building and if it will be hinged or sliding and they will recommend the best glass for the application. I would spend the extra money for safety glass.

Do you have any idea if PlexiGlas is cheaper than real glass? And is there anything wrong with plexiglas?

Hey! I'm planning on ordering a 4x2x2 for my next beardie but I'm worried about lighting. I have a UVA and a UVB but they are small (the UVA just being a bulb and the UVB being 12 ish inches?) My house is drafty so I need a strong light that puts off quite a good amount of heat, any suggestions?
cookie event at my library today, quite fun! Made some bracelets for my comrades too, to give them at church in the morning. Got a busy day tomorrow even though I’m off work… i go back on tuesday so atleast I’ll have 2 days off to rewind….then back to hell lol
