Help with large acrylic tank Please!

[mtlreeffreak]

So i have been on the lookout for a few months for a 8-12 foot long tank..I finally found something that interests me..

the tank was built new by ******* in 2010.
Its 10'x48"x30" High
the owner told me he bought it new and did a water leak test and never used it since.. My question is among others.. he tell me the top and sides are 3/4"
and the bottom is 1/2" Acrylic.
Most tanks i am looking at that size are 1-1.25" think

Should I be concerned?

It's a lot of water pressure for one that large. But I thought I read somewhere that the atm guys use that. (Not that means it's ok) best to get thoughts from others with large acrylic Ts ks

I'm sure it would be helpful to others here to know the who/what/where of your research and what your conclusions were so that everyone can learn from your experience.

Well based on all the Calculators online they all say it should be 1.25 Inch thick to be safe..
My gut was telling me it wasnt thick enough..
