I'm considering building a 48"x24"x24" tank. It is going to be set in the wall so only the front needs to be glass or acylic. I would make the rest out of plywood. I would then line the inside of the tank with thin acylic or fiberglass form HomeDepot. So I would have all the weight on the wood frame but no water touching it. So my questions are how thick of glass or acylic do I need for the front (24"x48" piece) and what would work better in this setup. Also, is their any reason not to line it with fiberglass (shower wall type) over the plywood? Any advise from someone who's built a tank would help.
