You are going to find a lot of variations in thickness recommendations. Look long enough and someone will say you can build anything out of 3/8 no matter how tall. I personally over build. Its a sickness. I would stick to the Acrylic Manufactures recommendations. You may not like what they say but they are in the business of selling a product and know it well. There are too many variables to take a chance on ruining $1000's in materials and having to start over because you went to thin then leaned on the top of the tank while cleaning and had a seam or side crack or something. These are just my experiences. As the disclaimer at the bottom says "Results May Vary".
