Default Tank questions
I have a 36"x18"x18" glass tank. It's made of 1/4" glass is that thick enough? I had originally bought it for a sump setup so it would have been only half full. But now I'm debating wether to turn it into a full tank. I also want to know if I can move the centre brace, and just have thick bracing on the ends, so I can put one halide over the centre. thanks

It sounds like my 40 gallon breeder tank...i ended up removing the centre brace with no prob...however, my tank was 16 inches tall...not 18 inches.

I have a custom 90g 18.5" tall 24" front to back and 48" long. I took out my center brace years ago never had any problems. just my 2 cents.

Cheers

what about the glass thickness? You guys think that's good enough?

Just to be safe I'd have a center brace. I've had success replacing the black plastic brace on my 65 gallon with a .5 x 6 inch glass brace.
