Aquarium Depot - Custom Aquarium Cost Estimator
Build your aquarium
Change anything below and the glass, the safety factors and the price all update together.
Every tank we build is engineered to a safety factor of 3.8. That means each panel is specified to withstand roughly 3.8 times the water pressure it will actually see in service — the long-standing benchmark for glass aquariums, and enough headroom to cover normal variation in glass strength.
You'll see a live safety factor on every glass option below. Green clears 3.8. Red doesn't, and we won't build it — though thicker glass or extra bracing will usually get you there.

Wall glass
Bottom glass
Glass clarity
Low iron on which panels?
Top bracing
Bracing shortens the unsupported span across the front and back, which is usually what decides whether a thinner glass will pass.
Eurobrace glass
Eurobrace width
A wider frame stiffens the rim and hides more of the waterline. It doesn't change the glass thickness the walls need — a braced top edge is braced either way.
