Congrats on the new hatchling! Is he your first? You can keep them in a glass tank, just be sure you have a large enough one. I myself would not go much smaller then a 40 gal breeder. A 20 gal long you might be able to squeeze in all the needs, but it is easy to overheat it and with a sulcata, it's not going to last long enough to do much good.

Welcome! I actually prefer glass aquariums to tortoises tables. Much easier to maintain temps and humidity. The key is making sure your aquarium is large enough though.
