Looking good bro, I need to pay you a visit take a look for myself one of these days .

I couldn't deal with the middle brace

 

[Smotz]

Center brace holding strong and no shadows! I check with a ruler every few days for bowing and good so far.

What was your process for the center brace swap? Did you have to clamp the tank while you cut the center or was bowing not a worry?

Absolutely. We put 2 clamps on ether side of the tank, cut, and screwed in a 3/4" acrylic brace.
I still check for bowing out of paranoia but looks OK!

Probably one of the most annoying aspects of my 120! Ingenious fix!

And one very random question. Is your last name Motz by chance? Only reason I ask is that mine is, and I dont meet many people with it spelled this way.

No - I shortened it. It used to be Smot Poker from my earlier years
