Do you like eurobracing?

I'm looking to order a tank from glasscages.com. It's not a rimless, however, they add eurobracing around the sides and I the middle. The eurobracing us about 3".

I am going to set a canopy on it. It seems like the eurobracing would make it hard to get your hand in the tank to clean.

Am I over thinking this?

fwiw I had extremely poor service from them and reviews online say they don't stand behind their work.
I ended up going with Oceans by Design. He was very polite and even called me right before he shipped and said he found a 1/4 imperfection on the bottom of the glass and if I wanted it redone. He said no structural issue just visual...I think that speaks to his work.

Thanks. I'll check them out today. What about the eurobracing?

What size tank are you getting ?

I had a euro braced tank before and I loved it. I miss it dearly. The reason I loved it so much is that it was easier to keep the outside of the glass free from water drips/runs when cleaning with a magnet. No splashing!
As for keeping the inside clean, its a little more effort towards the top of the tank, but makes no difference otherwise.
