Additional Bracing for Wavebox

[GoTakuF1]

My 130 gallon starphire (48x26x24) is turning 7 years old soon and I'd like to install my new Tunze Wavebox. Tunze suggests that running the Wavebox will decrease the lifespand of a glass tank by ~ 15%. To add some piece of mind, do you think additional bracing to the existing 1/2" eurobrace would prove useful? Additionally, what are some things I can do to increase the integrity of the tank? Thanks for your help.

Side question: I would also like to install the Osmolator in this tank with the Wavebox. The tank does not have a sump of any kind so the Osmolator will be installed directly in thet ank. Would the wave action caused by the Wavebox affect the Osmolator?

Anyone?

If the stand is level and sturdy and the tank was well built to begin with it should be OK. The bracing may help but really it is the integrity of the seams that is the most important.

The wavebox and osmolator will work together, the osmolator will fill so that the lowest level of the wave trough is touching the sensor and you just need to leave a couple inches distance for the safety sensor.
