I found a 180g 72x24x24 acrylic tank that I really like online. The previous owner bought it new 7yrs ago and had it up and running for 4 of them. He couldnt remember the manufacturer on the tank but said that he remembers "Integraded Plastics" having something to do with the manufacturers name. I couldnt find anything on the web about it and frankly am new to Acrylic tanks.

Anyways..we have been emailing eachother and he said the tank is made of 3/8" acrylic on all sides...including the top. Shouldnt a 72x24x24 tank be made of 1/2" in for the sides? Should I be cautious of a tank made of 3/8"?

Any acrylic owners out there with a 180?
