Need Help (before 4:00PM central time) about type of glass

[KairaandTaz08]

Hi,
Sorry for the title lol...in a hurry. I need to special order a tank from a pet store and the lady is truly trying to help me out (cut the price) but I don't know if it's a good idea or not. It's a 125gallon tank (I know it's big) and she wants to know if I want the "thinner" glass (for reptiles pretty much) or the "regular" fish-tank type glass. Obviously the thinner is cheaper...but is it practical? Does anybody have a tank made out of the "thinner" glass (don't know what else to call it)????
Any advice/info would be helpful. Neither one is cheap and we don't really want to pay for something that is going to crack/not hold in heat well (costing more money in other areas)/etc.
Oh, I have until 4:00...she has to order it before than or we have to wait awhile longer :? .
Thanks,
Abi

The thinner glass for reptiles is fine. The big fish tank glass is like half an inch thick I think. I had a 150 gallon fish tank and it was 370 lbs. go wit hthe thinner glass.
