any how what thickness should i go it, actually what is the safest that i can go?
How many braces ?
Euro bracing I would like to have to ?
I was told that 2x 8 " braces on top...
I would like to get 1/2" but i was told he wont promise it after it s built |
if cost was a concern 12mm is a safe bet at 24 inches high but i would ask them to use 15mm for your euro-brace and make it at least 3 inches wide. If you are going try to produce any kind of wave in this tank, i personally would spend that bit more and go with 15mm, piece of mind goes a long way in this hobby
