Default What is the recommended glass thickness for 6ft tank by 2ft by 2.5ft

Many bro should have experience for 6 ft tank and above. Want to know the recommended glass thickness. Is 10mm sufficient?

With substrate and hardscape to be added in the tank, better to have it min 12mm with all round bracings
