I recently picked up a 75 gallon from a friend who was giving it away.
It was very heavy and made with 3/8" glass.
There did not seem to be any center bracing on the top or bottom trim.
Were older tanks built without this center bracing?
Only indication of the brand of tank is a Hagen sticker on one of the panels.

Yes older tanks with thicker glass did not use a center brace though that can vary on the tank height. A 75G tank should be just fine.

The difficulty would be if you wanted to use a glass canopy because they use a center brace to support the dual glass lids.
