Building A Cube Aquarium

[fattikins]

I have been really inspired by a couple pictures to do a cube-shaped planted aquariums.

I want to make an aquarium that has this shape:

Except the dimensions would be 14"x14"x14".
What thickness of glass should I use?
How much can I expect to pay for the glass? (In Canadian dollars preferably)

Also, I would really like to light it with a desk lamp, what kind of light bulb should I be looking for? Could I find it at home depot? I know that it has to be 6500K-6700K, and if I was to keep high-light plants, what amount should the watts be on it?

I know it is a lot of questions so thank you for your time

6mm Plate Glass will give you a better bond.
Dont know about pricing in Canada
You can buy some nice clip on modules these days for your lighting.

FREE I work as a glasscutter in a factory so I cut and finish my own from offcuts if you see what I mean.
I really dont know how much 6mm plate is per M sq. but I can find out. The pricing changes all the time.

Oh If only it was actually profitable to ship fragile objects from Ireland to Canada
If it really isn't out of your way I would like to know how much it is.
