Got a good deal on this glass tank. Owner was looking to go rimless and cut out euro bracing. 60x27x24. I have the coast to coast front & rear bracing pieces, but not the sides. Can I use the two and just make 3 braces front to back. Both sides & one center? 1/2" glass all around.
Need advice with bracing. 170 gallon glass

It may be because it's not clear what you're asking. You have eurobrace for the length of the tank but not the width - is that what you meant?
I think it would be best to have all around plus cross brace. I've not built a erubraced tank, but Id imagine youd need a minimal safety factor given the glass thickness and tank dimensions.

Exactly. I have the legth (front & rear) but not the width (either side).
Was thinking maybe I could cannibalize the long pieces and make 3 shorter braces (left and right side with a center brace).
I had a 125 with this exact (both sides and center) bracing along with plastic rim that the lids sat on.
