LAJC2012 Posted November 17, 2013 Report Share Posted November 17, 2013 Hi guys, not sure if this is the right section or not, technically I am about to start a DIY project of sorts so I guess it fits....... I have a 3x2 tank that currently has a glass divider in it, I want to remove the divider to get just one larger tank, there is no other bracing on the tank apart from the divider that is siliconed down the centre. If I remove the divider will I need to add bracing front to back across the top of the tank? I dont expect someone to vouch for the strength of the tank but if anyone has 3x2 tanks I would be interested to see what bracing they have on theirs.

Oromis Posted November 18, 2013 Report Share Posted November 18, 2013 I'm fairly sure you'd need to add bracing once you remove the divider. My 3x2x2 has two ~5cm front and back braces, the a big 15cm cross brace down the middle with another two ~ 4cm cross braces (I think these are mostly for the lids though) I would post a picture but I'm not currently at home.

LAJC2012 Posted November 18, 2013 Author Report Share Posted November 18, 2013 Thanks Oromis, I kinda figured its better to be safe than sorry, I should be able to cut the divider up to turn into braces. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
