Euro-bracing

Euro-bracing

That ought to work for you... Just for grins, get tank measurements empty and full, to determine if any bowing... I can't imagine how...why did you decide to use the cross braces? I thought the whole prupose of euro bracing was to eliminate need for cross braces? Maybe because potential weak point in your euro-bracing is there at the overflow?

Yes...you are correct! Since i didn't want to run a full piece across the back the two cross-braces ties both front and back together eliminating any possibilities. Besides it is much better than it was before as there's about a 17"x22" opening off to the sides and the center is pretty much open. I must say I was very tempted not to install them but it was the right thing to do, I do not want to wake up to find my fish and coral did not appreciate the low tide:lol:
