Buut, i cant put in any top braces until i fiberglass it and put the glass in
 
if you look on the garf website, this is all they recommend? no supports, just plwood and screws, overbuilding cant hurt though
 
The black = wooden supports.
Triangle braces in each corner two braces going across the tank.

Also, instead of using butt-joints to connect each corner, you should have used dowel reinforced butt-joints wich would be much stronger.

Dovetail joints would have been good aswell.
Pictures included of both joints.

Also, if you were using my method, this would be a pond... not a fishtank persay as you'd be viewing from the top....

screw dovetails when you have 20 screws
