2ft Acrylic tank

[Pinkfish]

Just took delivery of lots of 6mm acrylic and as some of you know that im looking to set up a frag system my question is when making the tanks - 2ft by 2and a half ft out of 6mm acrylic will I need to add any supports as in brace bars?

The tanks are only 6inches deep one of them maight be 8inches deep

Plan is to make 6 tanks plus a sump.

Hi Mike it depends how floppy the acrylic is when you get the sides stuck on the bottom, if it were me i would put some on so that it braces the top of the tank all around it. HTH Twiggy:D:D

I think your right eric I wll add a inch and a half strip all around the top. Sounds like a plan.
