    im looking at getting some cubes going. now here my question would 8mm glass do the job? iv been quoted 10mm and 8mm.
    but at the same time do not want thing to go wrong. what i want is 60mm x 60mm x 60mm. who out there in TASA can give me the heads up. or has any cubes round that size going?
    cheers doug

    I have a cube this size as my main display tank. It's a rimless 10mm cube. I would go 8mm if you brace it and 10mm if you don't brace. It's a nice size tank, but filtration is tricky on a tank this size.

    Well, getting the correct flow rates is tricky, not the actual filtering.

    If you need some help, or a second opinion on pricing, please give me a shout.

    LOL! I understood perfectly!

    Ok, then go with the 8mm. Brace it though. If it's not for display purposes, then don't worry about rimless.
