Forcing a bent front glass back will put more pressure on the new top brace to front glass joint, but decrease pressure on the side glass to front glass joins. This + added long run stability is at least what I weigh into the equation when choosing to glue a center brace that have been missing for a while. Not super fond of forcing the front glass back but the pros seem to be more than the cons I reason. Would love to hear you elaborate on this factor more also Chris, thanks for the video 👍
Thanks for the video! Where can you buy a piece of acrylic for fixing the center brace that has just cracked in the middle? And what thickness would you use?
I have a 125 no brace i got acrylic i was gonna take a strip and use bj glass n plastic weld to hold in on across the tank because my actually plastic trim is also cracked u think that would b better than silicon?
My custom tank is 48"-20"-20" 10mm glass and I'll give 3 top width braces with 3" 8mm glass. Two times the middle brace glass is sleeping with silicon glue.. What can I do? Do i need euro brece on top only or bottom both??
Bought a dirty aquarium come to see cleaning it says critter tank dont use water its 18*33 *15 what do you think? She had fish in it has a too frame will it bow?

What thickness and width of aluminum? Also, you say bend at one point and weld in a couple others. Is it just 1 shaped piece or is it welded? Thanks!

What grade of aluminum do you use for the braces?

Does any body know how thick or what grade aluminum should be?
If you haven't figured it out go with 4mm or so. It doesn't actually hold a lot of pressure, it's best to spread the load out.
