IMO, the braces need to be a bit closer then 34" apart(with one 10"wide brace), this might cause a bit of unwanted stress on the tank, then add a clawing turtle that has the ability to ram and chip glass... umm i wouldnt chance it...

no lol only 2" a piece right now :ROFL::ROFL::ROFL::ROFL: but they will get up to about 10-12" but ne ways would the
having each at 25 1/8" on center from each other will center them perfectly to eachother... of 23.75" from edge to edge... be ok or should it be better in your opinion??? sayyy like using 3 cross braces 20" apart starting at the edge and putting 1 on every 20"

umm with 3 center braces at 3" wide thats 18 7/8 on center and 16 7/16" from edge to edge, but no reason to get technical...
 
lol, can you belive i used to suck at math...

and yah i definetly think that 3 is beter then two..., thats playing it safe... making it stronger then it absomutly has to be... bare minimum is two braces, three is obviesly better..., one in the total midel and the two others inbetween that.
