No Center Brace?

[Dan F]

Ah see! That's not hard either is it? Did you add the brace with the tank on it's side or by the use of Clamps?

Did you take any pics?

It was a really easy fix. I drained the tank completely and then used masking tape to hold the brace (a 6x18x1/4" piece of glass) in place while the silicone cured. Before the brace the tank bowed out a good 1/2", after the brace the bowing was negligible.

I did this sometime around 1990/91 (I still have the tank in my parents barn), so no photos. In the pre-digital age not many people were taking pictures of their aquarium projects...

Thanks for all the info guys. I ended up not getting it because it was gonna be too heavy to maneuver down to my basement.
