Hey guys,
I recently picked up a 40 breeder, and I've got some ideas in mind.
First off, here's a photo:
I'd like to euro-brace it like in this thread (about halfway down the page). Here is the first of my long list of questions:
What thickness and width of glass will be needed to euro-brace it safely? Seeing as it's a 40B (no center brace) would it be possible to get away with some Home Depot type glass, or will I need to find a glass shop?
What type of silicon will be needed? Will the regular GE stuff be okay?
This one makes me feel stupid, but would the bracing go on top of the tank, or in the tank? From that thread, it looks like the bracing is recessed inside the walls of the tank.
Lastly, if I decide to install a glass-holes style overflow, would there be any reason not to install the euro-bracing before drilling the back pane?
Classes start the 17th, so I've got to get as much of this tank DIY'd as quick as possible!
