Yeah water bridges are under-rated. I bend single PVC pipe (fill with sand, tape ends, heat and then gently bend around something with appropriate diameter). Before I started drilling my tanks, I ran a powerhead from the first tank to the last tank to make a slow flowing loop which allows me to economise on heating and filtration. With double 25mm pipes I was able to have 20 tanks in a row before the water level difference became too great. (Double pipes cos fish do get inside and they can block). I had 4 tier tank racks so a single powerhead was able to filter 80 tanks!!

On 10mm thick glass up to 60cm high/deep, you dont even need a brace but if you have tankbusters or the tank is not in your fishroom (ie expensive if it leaks) then I would add a small brace. I have joined up to three - 8 foot x 2 foot x 2 foot tanks ... just to get a 24 foot tank and even joined some at right angles to make long or L shaped corner tanks.
Have enclosed a photo of 2 tanks joined, (both 6x2x2 foot) because this apartment is on the 7th floor and 6 foot was the largest size I could fit in the elevator. Joining tanks is much cheaper although if you do have a long glass tank (over 10 foot) I would recommend a split (2 piece) bottom to allow flexibility.
But here is a man who trusts his work...look under the tank!!!Dr Joe

If you use modern math it comes out to 12 foot
