Are you using glass or acrylic? If glass, why not just use glass for the bracing?

 

[MikeGuerra]

yea i was thinking the same thing...if i go glass thats what i will do but most likely acrylic....we'll see what the money situation is in a month when i start lol

I don't think you will be able to find a frame any bigger than a 265g. If I recall glass cages doesn't sell frames any larger than a 90g, and the other website doesn't sell any larger than a 55g but good luck.

so by best bet is to use glass and brace it with glass myself?

Make it out of acrylic and you don't need braces or frames. I couldn't imagine moving a 7x3x3 glass tank. It weigh a ton!

yea i know lol i planned on building in an keeping it rite where it is built lol......thats the only thing keeping me from doing glass is if i have to move it...cant wait though the biggest tank i had was a 180 and it was heavy s ****...
