yes i did double them up mate and it has all bin braced with 2x4. i have also insulated it to try and keep the heat in..it will be in fibreglass and black gel coat. but when i do the aquascape work all the back and sides of the tank are going to be in stone and drift wood with littlgaps where plant can grow and fish can hide. i think im just going to keep small fish not sure what yet. but have always liked the idea of a school off 200 tetra aswell as things like discus. but i will have to think about it
