Euro bracing rimless tank

[M3AN ONE]

I have a 4x4 rimless tank I want to convert to a Euro brace tank any tips regarding implementation silicone to use ect tank is 3/4 inch does the brace need to be as thick? also I see ppl putting lips on euro brace for recessed lids how would I go about that? I reached out to glass cages but freight would be $400 plus just to ship so I will have to source glass locally.



Something like this

Looks like they are double stacking glass to get lip affect

Mission complete ended up using 3/8 glass

So tanks been in for about a year and I noticed the water on one side closet to my wall is 1/4 inch lower then the other side. I did all my previous shims at the bottom in between the floor and the stand. This time around I want to put a shim now between the stand in the base board one on each side where its unbalanced it will be far easier that way then trying to lift tank baseboard and stand. Will this create a issue? I have 1 inch base board not standard 3/4 inch very heavy and 1/2 styrofoam. I am only concerned because because its off a quarter inch at only 4 feet tans is 4x4 and as you can see was originally a rimless tank I reinforced with euro bracing to prevent failure.

Backfromthedead is probably the most knowledgeable with glass around here these days…

Personally id go back to the foor for shimming. Should b able to rig some kind of lever up to lift it or a bottle jack and boards.
My worry would b the bottom pane of course. Plate bottom glass would need to be supported evenly as best as possible. If it were a tempered tank with frame u could shim right under the wood easy. Do u know if the bottom piece is tempered or not?
