I'm looking at buying a 75g from a guy on CL. It comes with a wooden stand and he's selling it for $75 so good deal. The problem is, I saw in his pictures that it has no center brace. Is that normal on a 75? I though 55 and up had braces. The last thing I want is 75 gallons of water on my floor.
Does this seem right?

Makes me a little nervous at least. Plus when I asked him to have it full when I picked it up he told me "it held water last time it was used and is sold as is"
its likely just an older tank with thicker glass.
braces have only been common for the last 15 years or so.
before that, none had braces.

Now that I look at my 80 gal compared to the 125 gal next to it... I can see that the glass on the 80 gal is thicker than the glass on the 125 gal! The 125 gal has 3/8 inch glass while the 80 gal has 1/2 in glass.
Ask him to measure the glass.
