What is the best way to brace a tank? My 135g tank is old and has no center bracing. I was just planning on purchasing a new top bracing system from All Glass but I'm afraid that my glass sides will be too thick for it. I tried to silicone 1/2" acrylic strips but it bowed when I put the glass tops and light on it. The reason I am bracing it is my current glass top is all messed up and I want to replace it. I bought AG's glass top for it, but it needs two bracing strips for the glass tops to rest on. Any ideas?

silicone a 12" wide, 1/4" thick piece of glass in the middle front to back, and then the same on each end of the tank 2-3" wide.
Thanks mopar, but that is pretty similar to what the tank has now, a solid pane of glass in the center (although its not siliconed in, just resting on the front and back edge). I want to change the top over to having three hinged tops. In order to do so, I need to silicone in two strips for the tops to rest on. Any suggestions? Like I said earlier, the 1/2" thick acrylic strip I tried is bowing.
