Derbird Posted July 30, 2012 Share Posted July 30, 2012 As long as the glass is thick enough I can't imagine why not. Glass is inert so it should be safe to use. If I remember correctly its the silicone that goes bad on older tanks not the glass. But correct me if I am mistaken Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike nickerson Posted July 30, 2012 Author Share Posted July 30, 2012 thats what i was thinking to, it never hurts to ask questions first. and the glass is 1/4" thick but when i punched in the demensions into the garfs tank building calculator it calls for 1/4" glass Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
saltygobie Posted August 21, 2012 Share Posted August 21, 2012 You are right glass does not break down over time or become brittle , but can become frosty if not stored right , but it should work fine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
