hi,
6mm is right on the borderline for your unbraced 24" x 17" face. I would build one for myself with 6mm, but not for a customer
I used to be able to get 8mm, which was nice to work with and worked well for this kind of sized tank, unfortunately it is not as common anymore, and you might want to step up to 10mm.
