Wendle better take that one. I don't know a thing about braces. But braces won't help you on the bottom.
As for the cost of low iron glass, for a tank that size, in what has to be 1/2 to 3/4" thick - it's gonna be more than $100 for that piece. Maybe more than $200 - that is unless you can talk someone out of a remnant. That's a big piece of low iron glass.
And depending on how your tank is displayed, it could be a waste. If there is no ambient light, and the tank only has light shining in the top, it would be OK. But if there is a lot of ambient light coming in from around the room, those 3 other sides are going to color your tank anyway, in which case I wouldn't bother.
