I presently got an old 180gal tall. it had no center brace as it it thick glass. it was 72x18x30. I am going to take the front panel and use it in a 72x36x30 plywood build. the rest I was going to make a 72x30x18. I have the plywood tank figured out except the top as I dont know how wide I should leave the euro braces on it it will be 3/4" plywood.

as to the 72x30x18. I am using the back for the bottom bottom for the baxk and side for the sides. I am going to get a lowiron glass for the front. being that it was a rimless before(just had a plastic accent frame) would I need to make a glass euro brace for it? what thickness should the Starfire glass be on the front panel?
 
anyone? or at least point me in the direction of the charts/thread. everywhere I look I see glass thickness for braced tanks but not rimless. can't find how much should be a min for the top braces on plywood tanks either.

thanks
