I was also thinking of using steel for the brace... Guess great minds think alike LOL.
I thought of making the top ring 4" wide and using a 3" peice of 1/4" steel the full length of the tank and using a peice of glass for a center brace basiclly just for something for the top cover to rest on and still allow light threw... Cuz I know that 1/4" steel isnt gonna deflect.
I would also probably 2x2 twill carbon fiber and mechanically faster the steel in place as well as do all the corners with a layer of carbon fiber before I did the full epoxy layers so the corners are bullet proof
