external overflows and Euro bracing pics

[Giglamesh]

im getting a tank made i was going to go rimless but have fallen in love with wrasses so rimless is a no go. so looking at euro bracing now because its going to have an external weir im unsure of how it will look. basically im after pictures of tanks with euro bracing and external overflows

cheers so theres no issue with algae biuld up on the underside of the euro?

Nope, just a little condensation, but I never had any salt creep issues at all. That can't be said for typical rimmed tanks!

I just wipe the condensation wth my hand whenever I am in the tank. condensations will be back w/in 8-12hrs, but never causes any issues. Just drips back into the tank

ok, I realize this is a dead thread, but I have a follow-on question:
How does this get solved with a wall-length weir? I'm wanting to do a 72" weir on a 180 (6x2x2) with an external overflow (leaning toward glass). can I do eurobracing?

I think not because the whole rear wall will be a weir. Why don't you call Crystal Dynamic Aquariums in Oceanside and ask them, they build tons of euro braced tanks. I know that they prefer Modular Marine, they will use up to a 36" model on a 6 foot tank.
