3/4 Ply vs. 720 Gallons

Very jealous, and thanks for the tips, 8-9in per brace, gotcha. Have you thought about how you're going to find a glass sheet? Or if you're to go with acrylic? This part has been kind of bothering me just because custom sheets run for a good amount of money.

I'll be getting a piece from a friend of mine. Lol.

Mine is 3/4" plywood and 36" tall with no bracing other than fiberglass. It's been running two plus years no bowing.

Sevank that looks awesome, is there a build thread somewhere and I am just blind? Would love to read more about it

How wide is it? For the 8 feet length and 4 feet width i'm going with i feel that wouldn't be secure enough not to brace with wood.

My tank is 7x5x3. But the pressure is only dependent on the height.

And you have no bracing at all? not even front to back? You ran 3/4 all around?

Nope. None. Check my build thread in my signature. I have cross ties over the top and that's it.
