What’s stronger from an impact stand point or also just better to use for bottom panel of a 72” x 24” x12” tall tank? All sides are 3/4”

1/2” tempered
3/4” regular

Thanks

Tempering isn't really going to make a difference for a bottom panel. It would be 4-5 stronger on side panels but that's all. I would use the 3/4" non-tempered for a bottom panel.
