Plexi glass isnt strong enough to hold 55 gallons of water, thats some serious pressure and weight. I have troubke sometimes just carrying a full 10 gallon tank hahaha. My backkk!

This stuff ([http://m.lowes.com/product?langId=-1&storeId=10702&catalogId=10051&productId=3143521&store=2845&view=detail](http://m.lowes.com/product?langId=-1&storeId=10702&catalogId=10051&productId=3143521&store=2845&view=detail)) is super strong and if you still aren’t sure you can use it on top of wood and do your original idea but when I was younger my dad and I made a half land half water terrarium for a four foot Nile monitor the little guy would thrash bunnies and hit the glass with them and the thing never broke , we even dropped it while moving it. If you are still having doubts plexy glass was created so people could have a lighter ,more flexible and strong material for things like windows and other clear things made of glass.( [Glass vs. Plexiglass | Hunker](http://www.ehow.com/about_6298767_glass-vs_-plexiglass.html) )
