Tank Set up

[Dempseygunz]

I bought a 180 gallon tank with no lid or lights. Also there is no cross beam to hold 2 glass lids. Where can I find a solution to this problem or someone that sells something big enough to make this work?

no cross beam? like, no center brace? Sounds sketch.

Well it was originally for lizards, so i guess there was never one in there.

There could be a question of structural integrity with no center beam. Have you filled this tank, did you notice how much the glass bowed?

I wouldn't personally risk filling a 180 with no center brace...

I had it filled for about 2 weeks and everything worked fine.

How old is it ? I have an 85 thats old and I got a thick piece of glass and epoxied that to the inside of the trim in the middle of the tank real nice and it made a good center brace its still running actually my dad has it setup for his salwater still.
