kd123 Posted July 2, 2010 Report Share Posted July 2, 2010 I have a 300lt which doesnt have a middle cross bracing on the top. I saw on the buy and exchange threads, a tank with two metal clips with rods used for this bracing. Can anyone tell me whether the clips are siliconed to the glass? and any negatives in using the metal instead of glass......? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spoon Posted July 2, 2010 Report Share Posted July 2, 2010 i can imagine that cost would be a major negtive it would cost a lot to get something like that made up in s/s rather than a simple glass brace. im not 100%sure but perhaps the reason for it was because its a marine tank and a large one a thick glass brace in the middle would block a lot of the useful light spectrum to corals underneath it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
