He says paper is stuck real good.peeling it off in dime size pieces. Any ideas on how to get it off?

maybe use rubbing alcohol to soak the paper a little then try peeling it off at a 45* angle. BTW, your frag tank is bigger than my DT!lol

lay a paper bowl on top of the paper and pour alcohol on top. that way it will soak through both layers of paper and soften the glue holding the paper. it works!
without the paper towel on top, it evaporates too fast.

For the alcohol, I believe you'll need denatured alcohol if memory serves correct. As far as the bracing, I think that's quite a stretch without any sort of bracing. How thick is the acrylic?

Might be best you hop over to the acrylics thread and ask James his opinion on the build so you are confident an acrylics expert can comment!

The coral tank I volunteer at has the same dimensions and the top brace is 3.5-4 inches around.
