si_sphinx Posted August 15, 2010 Author Report Share Posted August 15, 2010 lol yea but i think there are a little short. There is a gap of 4mm between the braces and the tank so the silicone has filled in the gap. not too sure how well the centre brace will hold. the silicone myt stectch not sure how to fix it without buying another piece of glass.

phoenix44 Posted August 15, 2010 Report Share Posted August 15, 2010 you mean the glass is too short? I think that might be a tad dangerous, but I don't know for certain. Also, where is the lengthways brace? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doddle69 Posted August 15, 2010 Report Share Posted August 15, 2010 lol put it on the floor and fill it up and see what happens just put that bit of wood on it 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
si_sphinx Posted August 15, 2010 Author Report Share Posted August 15, 2010 i thought i could get away without the lenghtways braces but now im not too sure. Do you think perspex will be strong enough for the long braces? glass down here is so expensive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caryl Posted August 15, 2010 Report Share Posted August 15, 2010 I would be bracing that stand before worrying about bracing the tank :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

phoenix44 Posted August 17, 2010 Report Share Posted August 17, 2010 previously I asked about the braces and doddle69 answered, and since you two are from the same region i figured you were in the same household :lol: but i wasn't sure. then he said his sand arrived on mon and my head exploded. :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
