Hello
I am building a new aquarium tank as per below:
length - 48in (121.92cm)
width - 18in (45.72cm)
height - 24in (60.96cm)
I will be using 10mm glass, with euro bracing on top and bottom.
The aquarium tool calculator says that I have a safety factor of 2.5 for the above dimensions.
Is the safety factor calculated with the aquarium completely filled with water?
I plan to have only 50cm of water in my aquarium, the remaining empty space will be hidden by the top cover...
If I calculate with 121.92cm x 45.72cm x 50cm(height of water), I have a safety factor of 4 with 10mm glass.
Grateful if you could give your opinions and advices...
Thanks a lot,
Rishi.
