4Mm Glass For Tank?

[Jebbwardo]

I am getting a lot of window panes and there all 4mm thick in my area just wanted to know what would be the biggest size tank I could make with 4mm maybe 2 foot length 1 foot width and 2 foot high? Or what would be the ideal size? That would be safe? Or could I stick two peices of 4mm together and have 8mm thickness even tho it won't be as strong as 8mm maybe the strength of 6mm just need some help

Oh, I wouldn't feel comfortable having any sized tank with only 4mm glass...perhaps that's just me thought!
 
If you're really tempted why not try a small shrimp tank...maybe 15 - 20L size?

He makes a huge tank with just 6mm I only want to make a 60x30x35 which I have seen plenty of tanks that company's make with 4mm

I'm more than happy to be corrected, however, I will say that I'm looking at this 'problem' from the perspective of having a 2 year old in the house...
 
4mm glass seems extremely easy to crack/break "accidentally" by a wee boy running around brandishing toys!
