Actually my 75 has the centrer glass strip. Has it from the manufacturer so it's not a hack job.forget "metal" or "a piece of glass cut to"
do it right and feel safe about the fix, rather then hacking it all up:thumbsup:

absolutely, plenty of manufacturers don't use a center brace due to the factThere is at least one manufacturer that makes 75 gallons tanks without any form of center brace. My local lfs ordered some for the local university and I just happened to be in the store when they got there. I was curious as I hadn't seen one like that before. I think they used thicker glass. The tanks were pretty heavy.
Tipsy you need to cool your jets.absolutely, plenty of manufacturers don't use a center brace due to the fact
they use a thicker glass, to compensate for stress at the weakest point.
even acrylic tank manufacturers integrated top braces, to reduce cost.
but a thicker perimeter acrylic negates a top braces.
a siliconed in glass to glass, glass top brace might do in a pinch, not a manufactured stand point.
the question still stands.
"what manufacturer is that?"
"how about a photo? "
