I had my tank built with eurobracing by Mitch down at IA.

My tank is 62 gal: 40"L x 18"W x 20"H.

Mitch used all 10mm glass for the bracing. The front and rear bracing are 3" wide and the side braces are 2"wide. This is probably overkill.

I love the EB and in hindsight the only thing I would have changed is to have had them make the side brace narrower on the corner over flow side of the tank. Access into the overflow is really tight the way it is now. I called Mitch on this and he said I could actually remove it on that side with no structural effect. He said on a tank that small the side braces merely keep everything flush for the finish moulding.
