New to me 270g question

[bigcatfan]

Picked up this 270 72x24x36 for 250 bucks with stand. It does not have a center brace and there arwe no signs of ever being one, The glass is 5/8 it is and older tank.Did it come with one? Im thinking of adding a brace i have a 1/2 piece of a 90g in the garage for peace of mind. What does everyone else think?

Well its only a 220 not a 270. I took the fella's word and didn't measure it.when I picked it up. Oh well I content with it.

even tough it is 50 less gallons it is still a big tank...

i have heard older tanks have thicker glass to make up for no center brace... i would still put one on beacause it might last longer and be higer end...

Hell of a deal, I wouldn't worry about the brace if it was designed with out one it should be ok, if your worried you could add one.

Those dimensions are 270g. I have an acrylic withe the same dim. Just Google "aquarium volume calculator" if you want to figure out any tank.
