30"x120" sheets of tempered glass

What would you do with 4 sheets of 30"x120" x 7/16 tempered glass?

I was planning on building a giant lizard enclosure and either using the glass in the shape of a bay window on the front, or more like sliding glass doors, but I found some cheaper glass for that project, so now I'm thinking about using the tempered glass for a fish tank. I was thinking I could make 2, plywood tanks with glass fronts and backs.

I'm thinking 7/16 is too thin for anything but a fairly narrow tank, 18". I was wondering if I could put a steel brace in the middle on the outside and around the joints so I could make the tank wider than 24-30".

I should've posted this in DIY, my bad. I haven't been on here in a while.

I'll use it to make a 550 gallon tank 7/16 isn't really thin and glass is a lot stronger when it's tempered

Already got my vote in the DIY section, one mammoth 1870 gallon tank

I have had glass tanks 36" tall with only half-inch thick low-iron glass (euro-braced top and bottom, of course) so you should be good to go for the really big tank at 7/16" tempered glass.
