Looking at a new 6’ 125gallon acrylic tank made from 3/8” acrylic. Is this this enough? Seems like it’d bow and break..

Assuming it's the standard dimensions and standard bracing, it won't break but it will definitely bow over time. I would suggest 1/2" on the front and back at least personally for reduced bowing
