Love your Channel. Made me laugh you and your son working together. Sounded the same as me and my son working together.

3 mm bow on that length? I wouldn't give it another thought. My 60 cm all glas aquarium does it too. The bracing of the stainless steel angle is enough, more then enough.

I would go on safe and mount a brace. I have seen other channels with huge tanks which seemed to do fune without a brace but over time the tank started leaking because of the bowing of the glass.

wouldnt u have to brace down the front of the glass to to make the top brace effective the top brace might just pull the top back while the center bows adding a new stress to it im really just guessing though theres got to be somebody that knows for sure on here great build inspiring im going to build one

That's a clean build Adam, love it mate

I would definitely put a cross brace on it, I wouldn't take any chances.

Good job mate.. hopefully it rest at that 3mm cheers

Another great video and it’s going to be a nice build. My vote is for 2x wire brace breaking up the tank in thirds. Answer in video. Will you be setting up a surge tank on this system as well? Your other one appears to be working a treat. Cheers!

Personally I’d prefer a brace for peace of mind but ultimately it’s what you think is best. Looking forward to day the fish get added to the tank. Cost is the cost, for me it’s worth every cent. Nice job Adam.

Thanks for the video! I would definitely put the cross brace on. It will reduce the stress on the glass very much and fix the deflection issue. There won't be a great load on the the cross brace, but it resists the force from the water in such an incredibly much more efficient way than the glass and the current brace that have to resist sideways over a large distance.

love your videos! thanks for including Euro prices!!

Cross brace!! And please tell Reggie's story mean?

Adam, you have shown the world the Aussie way of building plywood aquariums… you aught to be congratulated… shall we call it “Adam’s Aussie Plywood Aquarium”? How about building a concrete or brick / glass aquarium now?

Your videos are awesome! Coming to you from Canada, Eh! It's winter here...-30 last night.

yeah even a little bow over time mite weaken something or get a little worse so yeah a brace front to rear ,,good vid mate i watched all of it lol

Brace it, your fish will sleep better knowing you have that support.

Very nice great work😂So funny your bird is awesome

Thanks for answering my question, I really appreciate the detail. I am planning a build later in the year so it was very helpful. Also I would definitely add the cross brace on the new tank as if the glass is stressed I would think it's more likely to break from being bumped. Thanks again, I've never been mentioned in a RUclips video before!😅

while tempered/toughened glass is 'stronger' it shatters compared to just cracking that normal float does. thats why none of the tank builders will use tempered - there's no real forgiveness with it, also cannot be modified after it's treatment. 19mm clear float will handle a solid height of a display volume too! One day I might build a plywood setup!

I was onboard with trying this design out...until the welding was required after that silicone seam got shagged up. Now its in the too-hard basket lol

With such big reef tanks my main concern is costs in nutrients for corals - do you have something you can share on what you do to keep corals growing and alive in such huge tanks . Id like to do this but im scared !

I've been planning a similar build for quite some time and these videos have been invaluable. I think I will do a cross brace purely for the piece of mind but I have zero experience with this kind of diy.

Hi Adam, wow... the tank is looking good... about 9 months ago I did not have an affinity for the metal bracing... but I have totally warmed to it. Thanks for the inspiration. With regard to the upper bracing, I prefer that you add a cross brace to prevent the glass from bending further... Regards Bill from Camden

👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

Well any failure of the glass will be explosive.

Always great content. You should add how roughly an equivalent ready made tank with stand would cost in Australia.

I would brace for sure . When you get your sump running and moving water around inside I believe you'll feel better knowing it's braced? 👍💯🔥🙏

AWESOME job so far, love how you give all the detail of your builds and the price you pay. So much inspiration. Love your red tail beautiful cockatoo

I think I would brace it just for peace of mind.

I asked the Mrs if I can make one, she told me "You can go your own way!" 😂

I want so badly for you to not have to brace it as braceless looks so much better however if you do decide to brace it I'd love to see the cable brace done as iv never seen it before. Love what you do.

3mm bow is too much mate. That is putting a lot of pressure on the glass, which could shatter just like that! I would put a euro brace across the top edge for peace of mind. At the end of the day, it's about the inhabitants, not the actual aquarium.

Man that tank's looking so good! that is great value for the money cant even come close to getting take that size for the money. Q: answer in video: why did you wait till after the fill test to drill the bulk heads for the overflow? are you going to do another leak test after you install the overflow box? I agree not having a cross brace would be nice but i would sleep better at night having one. I am sure you can make it look nice.

Looking great so far! Yeah Iam thinking bracing it in the long run, since right now it might not do anything, but in the future who knows, Ive got a 30 gallon tank that does the same thing, while granted its been running for about 4 years Id probably brace it when ever I tare it down. I like the idea about using a cable wire that you mentioned for a brace, seems really minimal in design, never seen that done, so Iam super curious how you would do it.

Great vid! I think adding cross bracing would give you an ease of mind for just a little added effort. I would love to see a plywood sump build, or even a pvc sump build in the future! I know you have that HUGE sump on your other tank, and would love to get some ideas on how to build one for my future build.

No leaks mate! Nice one 🙂

Gud day Adam. Reggie/Reggy is on form this week lmfao. Great vid & informative can’t wait for the next vid. Thanks Pete 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

Yeah my 80gal can I take that apart and use the glass for a plywood aquarium

To me it's way too much hassle just to save on two panes of glass. So much can go wrong. A full glass tank lasts forever. And it is a peace of mind. I also wonder if a glass tank is actually cheaper or not...

I'm sorry to say, but I, too, would brace it. But, hey, it's a concrete floor. No worry of warping, so live dangerously. Lol.jk.

oh, a brace for sure, for a tank that size its added peace of mind.........and i love Reggie, what a personality. You should make a video of her someday and tell her story

I don't want to be rude or offending, i'm just saying. You really have that Wolf Creek's vibe in you😬

Time for an update!

At the 6:30 mark, I see an image of a person’s head in the middle of the backboard

I'm rewatching your old videos today to get as far away from politics as possible. They r still entertaining upon rewatching.😉

for what it's worth, probolt australia has aluminium bolts

Looking fantastic Adam. That angle sure took some bending! My question is - why did you run a bead of silicone on the side glass panels before you installed the front panel? If there is a 3mm gap, could you inject into the gap after the front panel has been stood up? Up to you whether you answer in a video or not.

I know where I live. I can only order normal temper glass or laminated temper glass like the car, wish one is the best for a plywood aquarium? Thank :)

🔥💯🙌🏻👌🏻👏🏻💯🔥

The bare feet in a Fish Shop always strikes me as so Aussie.
