are you using spa flex or hard pvc?
corey

It's mostly schedule 80 pvc but will use spa flex between the Ocean Motions 4 wave maker and the bulkheads. That is the recommendation of the manufacturer.

Some pics and design renders of my Long slow 24x24x18 irregular haxahedron (for you cube snobs) build. Tank size is 24"x24"x18"tall, for a total of 44.9 gallons, but the water is a good 2" below the rim. I estimate that the total volume is right around 50 gallons, but could be less - BRS reef calculator is always off (on the high side) when I use 50g. for my system volume. I'm going to be changing the aquascape around a bit when I find some good shelf rock that I'm happy with - it has a bit too much rock in the display right now for my taste. All of the corals on the sandbed are also going to be leaving too - I like the look of an open sandbed. Details in my build thread (linked above) including a parts list for the DIY light brackets that I designed from 80/20 aluminum extrusion.

How the build actually came out.

I wouldn't trust it. The bracing was put there for a reason. The glass thickness probably isn't adequate to hold the water volume safely without the bracing.
