As an example if the sheet is up to 1 5 sq.
Consider an acrylic sheet of thickness.
It is a tradename of lucite international and is polymethyl methacrylate pmma acrylic sheet which is manufactured from methyl methacrylate monomer mma.
The properties of the acrylic are rho 1990 kg m3 c 1470j kg middot k and k 0 21 w m middot k.
For aquariums it is important to calculate the required sheet thickness properly.
While acrylic is robust it still needs supporting when used in large sheets so opt for a thicker sheet when in doubt if the dimensions are on the larger side.
