I wonder if anyone ever did that with a Marineland 75gal.
It's a 1/4" thick and measures 48" X 18" X 21" (H).
I've been searching online and didn't find anything about the 75gal. with 1/4" thick glasses.
I've built many tanks for more than 30 years, but this tank has thin glasses compared to the ones I've built.
I guess I could easily remove the central plastic brace and place a 6" or 8" wide (1/4 thick ?) glass on the center, but I would prefer to remove the whole top plastic brace and build an Euro bracing when it's time to move the tank...
Would that be safe?
How thick and wide would the glass for the Euro bracing be?
I would like to glue them similar to the video below, but the one on the video is actually 3/8" thick.
I would place another glass under the long ones on the sides.
Grandis.
