    I think thickness is not an issue for such a small tank... it should be able to hold up well imo.

    Something to share for such a small set up..

    problems:
    -using a fan to chill down the tank causes evaporation. hence salinity fluctuates.
    -each top up with distilled water causes pH to fluctuates(if u are not diligent enough to top up everyday and topping more on alternate days). distilled water has a pH of 7 while marine tanks need to maintain at a pH of 8.3 optimum.
    -each water change causes parameters to fluctuate and not recommended as marine fishes and invertebrates are quite sensitive.
    -unable to stock up more and fishes makes this hobby quite boring with a small tank. unless u are contented with just a few small fishes and a few corals.

    so my advice is to go for as big a tank you can possibly afford.

    it is quite of a problem but water topping up issue can be resolved with a hamster bottle for a small tank or u have better idea of an auto top off.

    upgraded to 2ft cube... scaping is ugly.. don dare show. haha.. gonna rescape soon.. the planted tank u saw last time already given away to my friend. planting is fun but marine seems kinda challenging and more interesting with all the funny corals.

    DI water expensive leh.. haha... i read that for zoas and mushrooms, DI is not really needed.. just tap water + conditioner.. i guess that hamster bottle is workable.

    DI water isn't that expensive. You can get 1.5L bottle of NTUC pure water which is DI water at $0.45.

    Gone will your post be, if you continue to use sms language. A warning, this is. By now the rule young paduwan should know.
