You didn't state your tank dimensions, but I think I can answer your question.

If the tank is 1/2" glass and only 20" high, you don't need eurobracing for a 75g. Take it off and leave it off. This is somewhat dependant on the tank dimensions, so better post these and i'll double check.

I'd be really hesitant to put a 4" euro on a tank that size. You will really limit your access.

If you really want the brace to hold your return plumbing, put a triangle piece in the corners.

The tank I just had built is a little bigger, but I learned a lot in the process. If you interested, you can read about it here: http://www.canreef.com/vbulletin/sho...66&postcount=8 - There are some notes on glass thickness in the post.

Ah, new I forgot something...the tank is 48 x 18 x 20 high...I'm going to double check the thickness when I get home, but I'm fairly sure it's 1/2. Thanks for the link too...I'm headed over there now. I'm always looking to take others idea's and apply the good ones
