[AquaticLife] Another question.. Center Braces
As you saw, the main reason for the center braces was due to the use of thinner, lighter glass as the thinner glass would bow out several inches without a center brace. It wouldn’t hurt to fashion your own brace. A strip of plexiglass and some epoxy would work.
Or you could do it the red-neck way and use duct tape! 
(I can make fun of red-necks since I’m from the south! Don’t you yankees try it though! 
)
I would worry more about the front and back sides being supported, rather than the bottom since the bottom doesn’t really get any wear and tear like the top does when doing tank maintenance. It might not hurt to put a thin piece of dense foam or wood cut to fit inside of the frame edges before putting the tank on it’s stand. If the stand has a solid top, you don’t have much to worry about but if you have an iron stand with an open top, then you might want to support it with wood on the top of the stand first.
