HOW TO: Build an Aquarium brace TUTORIAL

are bottom braces a requirement for 6foot tanks? 180gallons

DO I NEED TO BRACE MY AQUARIUM? Its dimensions are 4f x 1.6f x 1.6f , it already have brace in the sides

Thank you!

Joey brother, Ur expertise is great appreciated and needed pls my friend 🙏. How do we remove the glass bottom graces inside of the tank around the perimeter, especially the bottom middle ones? Like I understand u can get the silicone on the edges out with blades, but how about the large round dots of silicone glued on the point of loads. If that makes sense.. Iv tried searching every where online.. 😭 😭

Would it be possible to silicone a different material as a brace. Such as a wood piece, metal sheet or hard plastic? Im sure aesthetically glass on glass would look best. But just curious.

Is it possible to brace a running aquarium, i have everything established, but now learning more about this hobby is making me panic. Can i brace the top just by reducing water level?

I have a glass 136.5 gallon missing a brace. The glass is 1/2" thick. Where do I find a 18" x 6" x 1/2" thick piece of tempered glass? Would polycarbonate work instead?

If the glass that I’m using for bracing is thinner than the glass the aquarium is made up of can I instead create more bracing with the thinner glass rather than trying to find thicker glass? That is, if I can only find glass that’s .125 inches (3.175 mm) when I need 6mm, can I make thicker bracing? Or at least is there somewhere I can find 6mm glass?

How many support required for 4 ft x 1.4ft × 2ft and height tank

Hi, we have built an aquarium which is open from three sides. When will fill it with water the further side glass looks completely bent inwards. Any thoughts?

Hopefully you see this considering this video is over 4 years old, but would bracing like this work with your method of diy trim? I have a used 55 gallon the didn’t come braced and the trim was broken so I had to get rid of the trim.

Thanks again man, you literally have a video for all my questions!

I dont see why anyone would want glass bracing! Im building a tank That's 60x24x24. I'll put one glass brace in middle (24×6). If you do all glass bracing it takes up room getting into, and putting and taking things out of tank! I have decided to do the one, and make my own bracing to go around tank.. was looking for ideas on YouTube, but couldn't find anything.. so not sure how I will do it yet. Thinking aluminum, something that want rot, but not only want it to look good…but different.. whole reason I'm building the tank.
