How thick of glass do you use for side by side ten gallon lids?

What type of glass do you use?

All the glass I have used thus far has been 3/32 plate glass from lowes.

About the same I reckon...

I have that on some of my tens, and I will warn you that plants can push the light little piece of glass easily.
1/8" thick doesn't have that problem.

I would wager it depends more on the type of plant doing the pushing. I doubt that 3 one hundredsth of an inch are going to add all that much for the to push on.
