If it's so simple why hasn't anyone done it ?

I understand your desire to have members figure it out by themselves. But what happened to mentoring? I've talked with a structural engineer and two phd physics professors and all have been a bit baffled by the problem. If YOU don't know how to help please let other members chime in.

Hi Thanks. I need to know how to determine the pressure at the highest pressure point in order to calculate the thickness of the glass needed for various sizes of bottomless aquariums.

How do I calculate glass thickness on a bottomless aquarium where air pressure is holding the water up. Example: 18"x18" by 36"' high closed top. 6" of the aquarium is submerged in a pond. Thanks.
