Dimensions for tank build

[RandomHero426]

I want to make a 24x24x20 tank out of 5/8th inch glass and I was just wondering what the dimensions would be for each sheet to make sure they would fit right. I know I cant make them all 24x20 and the bottom 24x24.

Im new to this so any help would be amazing

Thanks

do you want those to be the outside dimensions? If so, than:

Bottom:22 3/4" square
Front and Back: 24" x 20"
Sides: 22 3/4" x 20"

(when assembling, you will want to raise the bottom pannel up about 1/8" so the weight of the aquarium is resting on the edges of vertical pannels)

Hope this helps.

so the side panels would be on the outside? I saw on gigas thread a while ago, the floating inner panel...what would the dimensions be if I used that?

correct. The dimensions I gave you above is for the floating bottom pannel.
