Bracing required on a 180g Tank

[Glennw]

I'm building a 180g tank. 6'X2'X2' out of 5/8" glass. I have 2 pieces of glass 24"X3" wide I was going to use for bracing the 2 ends. Is this enough or do I need more bracing?
Thanks

Are you putting in a eurobrace around it?

IMO, a eurobrace and then 2 more braces (every 2')

I've got an 8" brace I could use for the middle but I intended on running 3 - 250W Metal Halide lights and I didn't want to have a center brace under the middle light.

I wonder if it would be strong enough with the 2- 3" corner braces and say 2" Eurobracing around the front and back?

I would do the eurobracing all around and then if you put a brace every 2', that won't interfere with your 3 lights.
