Gotcha, thanks. I think that's how it came.The glass "braces" in the middle aren't doing anything structural in this case. To be doing anything, they would need to be spanning the different panels. I wonder if the tank didn't get finished?
10 mm (3/8") would be fine for that size if it were rimmed or eurobraced. I would add some bracing if it were mine.
That’s crazy… structurally that does nothing for the tank! It will help prevent the glass from Bowing thou. If it were mine I’d put a full euro on it or Metal trim.Gotcha, thanks. I think that's how it came.

I asked the "Chat with us" function on their website. I'm curious what they will say.Interesting. I wonder what the purpose of those two pieces are
I asked "what is the purpose of the euro-bracing? In this case, it doesn't span between any of the panels, so it isn't bracing the glass."It will help prevent the glass from Bowing thou.
I can imagine to save $10 lol… like wow! That’s crazy to me! End to end and locked in with silicone would be much better.. extra 2 min of labor for a peace of mind!I asked "what is the purpose of the euro-bracing? In this case, it doesn't span between any of the panels, so it isn't bracing the glass."
Their answer: "Hello, to prevent the glass from bowing out"
Strange design. I don't know why you wouldn't just extend the braces all the way to the ends...
Tried to do a quick Google search. I think it's a company based out of Poland. Maybe they do it differently in EuropeI can imagine to save $10 lol… like wow! That’s crazy to me! End to end and locked in with silicone would be much better.. extra 2 min of labor for a peace of mind!
Well to answer your question a center brace would most def help! I’d have 2 pieces of glass cut the entire length and run the euro end to end over having a center brace personally.. I mean it might be okay the way it is but that’s just weird looking and not adding any strength to the silicone joints of the tank… it helps prevent a hinge on the bottom seal at best and very minimal at that.Tried to do a quick Google search.
