Euro Bracing
 

Okay I have a question for all you DIY'ers out their....What size should I make my EuroBrace on my new 230 Gal Tank???

What are the tank dimensions?

On a six foot tank I would thing 2.5 to 3 inches of 3/8 or 1/2 inch glass would be enough. Now don't forget I base that on no real knowledge just my own experience in building the tanks I have.:wink:

I have a 230g and mine is 1/2" glass and about 3in wide.

That tank still holding together Sean ? :smile:

Yep still going good, With all the silicone we used its silliconed to everything even the stand theres no way it will ever let go.

Great Thanx guys!

i'm looking at making a 230 too are you puting the sides on the bottom or the bottom inside the sides?

1/2 inch and 3inch wide. with 1/2 inch you can run the water level inbetween the thickness of the glass and never worry about etching a water line, and if the contact side against the front side isn't polished the glass will be slightly of perpendicular. do your arms a favor get the glass polished or at least well sanded.
