One piece euro brace for large tank

[rodneyri]

My tank builder has asked if I want a one piece euro brace water jet cut out at a reasonable price.

Im a bit unsure if this is a good thing as there is no flew in the corners being solid glass. Has anyone out there used a one piece euro brace on a larger tank?

tank is 2000x750x550tall

standard euro brace is the other option. all glass is 12mm

i have read about it a few times, and it looks sweet, as long as the corners are not sharp and they have a nice radius to it, it will prevent any stress

thats all i have though....

AGE uses 1 piece acrylic eurobrace for their glass tanks.

ive seen them on smaller tanks, yes the corners will be round and polished.

this euro will be glass though.

There shouldn't be any down-side other than cost. Structurally it will be marginally stronger, but the "extra" strength it will likely provide will be un-needed; a standard euro-brace should provide enough rigidity.

my mate is a tank builder and its only costing me $100 more to go one piece. they look nice was just a bit concerned if there would be stress points. ill be going to have a look at a few he is building on the weekend to look at the one piece and go from there
