New 260 Gal Tank

[Kiah]

I was wondering if you could just answer a few more questions for me:
I ordered a new tank today , final dimensions are 84" x 31" x 24" high.

It will have 2 overflows 7"deep by 9" long. They will be located starting 2 feet in from each end on the back wall.

I went a bit taller on the tank than originally intended to accomodate the Tunze wavebox. My understanding is the top needs to be 1" above water level.

I am in discussion with the tank manufacturer to insure it is compatible with the Tunze (that is why I moved the overflows toward back center). Any recommendations on overflow height with the Tunze, slot depth?

Also the tank will have two 10" horizontal braces with 2" euro bracing around the perimeter of the top and 2" interior bracing on the bottom interior. Will the perimeter bracing need to be modified to accomodate the Tunze?

Thanks for all your help!

You need more than 1", maybe 2" on a tank that size, you will get about 1.5" wave. The bracing will have to be drilled or you could use magnet holders and it won't matter. I would have the teeth go down at least 1.5" from the top.
