I only filled it half way. Crazy eyes has me worried about the bracing. I may add a single center brace

Yes I can. I have plenty of glass. The point of the tank was a look downtown tank very shallow. If I add a 2in euro brace that leaves my opening 13 inches and very hard to c into it from the top. there will be tanks above it too. That 2 inches will make a big difference in viewing corals. I Checked the tank build calculator. it says I only needed to use 1/4 inch glass and I used 3/8. The most I think I may do is a 2-4inch center brace. That won't block the look down as much as a euro brace will.
Thx for help everyone.
By the way the water test went well over night so far no leak that I can find.

I still think I will add a center brace but it will just be maybe 4inches wide. I only plan to run 8 inches of water in the tank

Once again big thanks to sonicboom for lighting a fire under me!!! He texted wanting to help again. Thx so much!!! We got a lot done. Got all the overflows on the 40 breeders installed, drilled the new Zoa tank I built, built a new overflow box for that tank. Filled the water in the rock holding tank and got the skimmer running too!!! It's a beast.
I will post pics later. Big thanks to my girl for letting me out of my baby duties today so I could work on the fish room!!! You are great!!! Thx reefqueen.

That would be awesome. I'm to scared to touch it
Ok got some pictures loaded
We stacked the tanks used gravity to hold in place till it was solid. They came out great.
Skimmer working in the rock tank. Only took 10 min to produce a nice head of foam!
Looks like all the pics didn't load on photobucket yet so have to wait for the rest

Ok got the overflow box installed and the tank in its home. Sump still needs to be built and the plumbing. Then water. Getting very close!!!
Taped it to mark where silicone had to go and gave clean edges too.
Silicone in place
Both sides of box sealed
Tank on its shelf.
What the room is going to look like. I need a wide angle lens to get the entire room
