I've been planning a new cube for some time now...and decided to have custom build by the great TroyLee. I really wanted a 24x24x16" rimless tank with a nice C2C overflow. All was well until last night. I sat up just as I was falling asleep and realized that my MP10 (major player in my new build) will work on a max thickness of 3/8"; I was informed this morning that a 24x24x16" rimless needs to be 1" thick for obvious reasons, so I'm left with a few choices and wanted some advice from fellow reefers.
I'm leaning towards the brace....but one of the major reasons I wanted to go for shorter tank (down from my 20x20x20" solana) was because I'm short and I hate soaking my entire arm every time I have to adjust something - so I guess I need some reassurance that the brace isn't that bad, or maybe it is? The bottom line is: what would you do in this situation?
