your right there is no reason to add a cross brace for support, but it would make it much easier to get proper glass lids for it then. i thought that would be better than having a single 6' lid, 6' lids are damn heavy. there are other options for making a lid, but glass lids are prefered for strenght, evaporation prevention, and looks IMO.

Ive already decided to take your advice and just put in a glass center brace. I'll silicone it in place so it doesn't move, but its main purpose is so I can add glass canopy. Lighting will probably just be a 4, shop light. Not sure yet. The place its going in has a low ceiling so a top canopy is out of the question.
 
that is the exact filtration that I use on my 125!

oh i went and looked at my center brace, its only 1/4". 3/8" might be overkill.

here's a link for the lids for $43- http://www.drsfostersmith.com/product/prod_display.cfm?pcatid=3781&prodid=6714&catid=113

without this link their $53 on that site. you could proboably do it cheaper though getting glass cut locally.

Great minds think alike eh? :grinno:
 
So I did a leak test over the weekend. Tank bows about 3/8" so about 3/16" per side. I don't think it will be a problem but ill probably make brace for it anyway. Will post some DIY pick for stand and sump soon
