You need 12mm glass for this. If you have not made a tank before, it's not the ideal size to practice on, the pressure on a 30in. deep tank requires good seams! As a UK base tank manufacturer, I would be surprised if you could buy the glass for what a tank manufacturer would charge you for the completed tank, bearing in mind they are in a position to buy in bulk at discounted prices.
